Hi,
Came back from 2 days at the pass. We spent the night of the 5th at Sapphire Col.
Observation for Sapphire Col (2575m) - Thursday, 6th of April:
5h am: -1 with light snow
9h am: +4 with mix of rain and snow
11h am: +5 with rain
We observed many natural wet slides from all aspect up to size 2.5. Was still rainning when we left the parking lot yesterday afternoon.
Conclusion: Rain at hight altitude and snow pack deteriorating at all elevation and aspect, found isothermal snow pack up to 2100m on sunny aspect. We triggered many wet slides size .5 to 1 on the way down from Sapphire col from 2200m and lower.
Thank you,
Remy Bernier
