Route Details

This is where there was a serious avalanche in late 2021. A party of four triggered a size 2.5 that left one person seriously injured. The incident happened at 330-4pm and it took almost 8 hours to get them off site. The avalanche hazard was well known. 3 days later a solo skier triggered the entire path of Whale's back on the same layer and almost killed serveral people. You can look down the area where the slide was triggered and show students what a convex slope looks like from the top. Be careful not to get too close because the slope is not safe in considerable hazard.
