Problem #1 Comments
Windloading. A striking degree of windloading/cross loading of the PC ridgeline as visible from across the basin with binoculars. Especially on west monitors and what I believe is the PC side of Silver Peak. Silver peak in particular looks like it did not slide, but is holding absolute waves of snow.
