Been waiting all year for South Monitor to avalanche and it finally did, wall to wall to the ground. I,ve been keeping track of South Monitor all year, it did not have any avalanches in it all year except for some shallow pockets, so it pretty much had the whole years snow pack sitting on the slope until today, now the whole years snowpack is sitting way down in the flats at the bottom of the slope leaving bushes, dirt and rock on the slope. Trigger was a natural cornice drop either last night or early this morning, crown was some what blown in, but still 6ft deep at the deepest point and averaged 3ft, even on the flank. Crown was 800 to 1000ft wide if you measure from the skiers left to the flank on the skiers right tree line. Weak layer was facets on the ground from the first days of winter. Pretty massive avalanche went full track way out onto the flats with a massive debris pile at the bottom. Have not seen a slide go to the ground in quite awhile, weak snow at the ground finally got overloaded with help from the strong S,SW winds which were cranking all day, and a large natural cornice drop as the trigger. Pics whole slide, flank, crown, bed surface with brush sticking out, and debris pile.
