Comments

Observed 3 separate crowns on Sound of Music south face, and 2 in the bowl south of Sound of Music east facing before Pointy Peak. Did not investigate, observed from the Canyons. Although they were 3 separate crowns, I have a feeling that all three happened as one event, one starting and the other 2 sympathetic releases. I think this due to the size of some other avalanches making me think there is some major propagation happening in these events. It appeared as if it was the entire new storm slab that went on the facets below. Could have been triggered by a cornice fall, cornices do grow above the middle crown. Sorry no pictures. Also, if anyone else has more info, or better ob of this avalanche event please submit and ob and disregard this.
