Comments
Spotted this from Bob's Knob. Couldn't find it reported on our website, and I suspect it is maybe a day or two old. The aspect is more East-southeast. It could be part of a much older and larger avalanche that happened earlier in January, but it looks a bit too fresh.
I couldn't find anything alarming in places I was digging. The most faceted snow I found was near several crust on a very low (7000') South facing slope which gave me the indication it may exist elsewhere. It doesn't seem to be on north.
