Natural soft slab avalanches widespread across Wood Camp bowls....Likely from 2-13 through 2-15 time frame...

Here, a broad crown on a southeast facing slope off the central ridge...The aspect suggests radiation or near surface faceting...

Comments

Here, shallow natural soft slabs are widespread and the crown of last month's huge deep slab release is still apparent...
