General Comments

Natural soft slab avalanches widespread across Wood Camp bowls....Likely from 2-13 through 2-15 time frame...

Here, a broad crown on a southeast facing slope off the central ridge...The aspect suggests radiation or near surface faceting...

General Comments 2

Here, shallow natural soft slabs are widespread and the crown of last month's huge deep slab release is still apparent...
