Date unknown, estimated to be February 26th. Observed from a distance:

Running 3/4 track and pretty much full width. I did not go over to investigate the crown. From my vantage point looked to be 3-4 feet deep. Down to the brown layer I'd say. I mean it looked pretty fresh even with the wind an skiff of new snow on it.

So just to the north of LJS there are 3 more gullies and the furthest north had been skied heavily without incident.
