Comments
Avoided the concave center punch like COVID19. With the red flags observed (weak layer, new snow, wind loading, cracking, collapsing, and the desire to ski powder), me and my partner concluded a remote trigger was likely. We farmed the safer lower angle flank until the obvious remotely occurred at 34 degrees. Not a huge slide, but it had five feet of deposition in traps. (ECT 5 observed in the crown.)
