Comments
Saw this new snow, wind slab avalanche in South Monitor this morning, looked to have run last night or early morning. It was around 200ft at it's widest and ran 800ft to the flats at the bottom. Weak layer was new snow old snow interface, looked to be a cross loaded wind slab right off the peak, not sure on the trigger.
