I came across a small, older avalanche, probably from the storm on the 6th or 7th. The starting zone was a heavily wind drifted small ridge. Really hard to tell the details, though I side slipped down bed surface on the way down. Much of the slide had blown back in, even with shallow hard slab in places. Well down the slide, a flank seemed to be new snow failing on facets. Small, but interesting for the low elevation and that it crosses a trail heavily used by snowshoers.
Photos: 1 - looking down the slide. 2. at the top, where it cracked, but didn't slide. Note the wind drifting. 3. the little "ridge" that was a perfect feature for loading on the east side.
