The CAIC reports that the avalanche was a Persistent Slab. This type of avalanche includes various layers, and is defined as the "release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab), when the bond to an ...

The avalanche broke to the ground in several places. “This is the kind of persistent-slab avalanche you can trigger in wind-drifted snow across much of the state,” the Facebook post read.

There were also wind-drifted slabs, where the snow can be densely packed down. The avalanche broke to the ground in several places. “This is the kind of persistent-slab avalanche you can trigger in ...

One significant area of research has been the transition from sub-Rayleigh to supershear crack propagation in snow avalanches. This study revealed that snow slab avalanches can exhibit behavior ...

On what was estimated to be their seventh lap, they dropped in under some rocks on a northwest facing slope when a facet layer failed beneath a hard wind slab causing an avalanche. The avalanche crown ...

The persistent slab avalanche was rated a “D2” or strong enough bury, injure or kill a person, and occurred on the northwest-facing slope of Red Mountain 3 at around 11,300 feet. CAIC ...

According to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC) social media statement, the skier was caught and buried in a slab avalanche, resulting in his death. "The avalanche occurred on a ...
