Comments
From the top of silver spoon in BCC saw what looked like a fresh crown on Catcher’s Mitt, around 12:30pm. Dimensions hard to estimate at that distance but maybe a foot deep and 50-100ft wide (see pic). Looks like it was triggered by wet loose activity, which was visible above and around the crown. Maybe a wind slab? I know this area slid earlier this year but thought this looked fresh so submitting.
In Silver Fork, corn was skiing better than the limited remaining north facing powder.
