Comments
Observed this large crown that deposited avalanche debris into the far lookers-left side of Bonkers. The "crown" was almost cornice like.
We noticed a medium-hard wind slab forming on Bonkers, gaining thickness with elevation from 1" up to 3" thick. This was non-reactive under the skis, with hand pits, and with skinner stomping, at all elevations including the summit saddle.
