I came up a few hundred feet shy of summiting Buffalo Mountain, partially due to fast approaching hazardous weather, and partially due to fear of triggering an avalanche, as small slabs would slide off beneath my feet on the steeply slopped eastern face. Otherwise, the skin trail has become hard-packed by boots below treeline and thus was an easy hike to the windy upper mountain. In hindsight, maybe the avy danger wasn't too bad, but high winds and advancing snow showers forced me down regardless. A future summit awaits when weather turns more pleasant.
Buffalo Mountain is located here in Google Maps.
