Comments
Skiers right hand side corner pocket of South Monitor pulled out for the third time this year, looks to have happened yesterday afternoon. Not sure the of the weak layer but the debris chunks in the trees were fairly large, might have been a large wind load on the density inversion. There was also a small soft slab that came of the peak looked to be triggered by a cornice drop.
