Comments
Observed this (potential repeater?) natural avalanche across the way today. Looks like a cross loaded wind slab pocket possibly released by wet loose activity from the above trees and rocks. Elevation is estimated (but i think the 1/9 obs has some good estimates). You can see the previous slide on this slope from 1/9, but I think that this pocket may have reloaded and been triggered again as the crown line seems to be a slightly different shape as well as looking newer with a fresh looking debris pile below.
