Comments
Found HS 140cm on southerly aspect below Raymond/Gobbler's divide/Baker Pass at 9300'. Last Friday's crust now 90cm down with basal weaknesses unimpressive - consisting of basal mf crust overlying damp, strengthening squares.
Found only partial size 2 perhaps avalanching on East and SE Raymond. Gobbler's was a different story - nearly wall to wall on south/southeast and wall to wall Main Gobbler's to Davis Gulch. Debris found well down into the Porter Fork gulley down to 8000'/slightly less.
Structure a red flag for areas that did not slide with HS roughly 120cm/20cm dry weak fist facets near the ground....9500' northerly....no collapsing or cracking noted....
