Comments
I scanned Timp and Cascade from North Provo late Monday afternoon. I spotted dark vertical streaks starting
near the top of the second couloir south of the summit. The crown fracture is variable in depth, running off & on
for several hundred yards. Dropping in elevation down a middle ridge on the South. The amount of dirt that was
moved showed that it broke to the ground. Probably in basal facets-persistant weak layer. Most of the bowl was
swept, running down a narrower section and out of my view. I suspect there is a substantial debris pile in the
runout area eastof Squaw Peak Road.
I didn't see it Sunday afternoon, so I assume it came down mid-afternoon Monday triggered by solar warming.
The Cascade SNOTEL has been down for over a week,, argh!
