Comments
This consisted of a couple wet slabs that released due to warming temperatures effecting the buried facets for the first time of the season. This was an indicator that the warming temperatures were starting to effect more northerly facing slopes. This ended up being a precursor to a more significant avalanche that occurred a few days later.
