Comments
Observed a natural crown ~300' wide in the sheltered side of an exposed ridge. Avalanche looked to be relatively recent. The debris and face were partially filled in by recent winds and likely occurred late in this week's storm cycle. Slab was ~1-2' deep, ran for ~50' on a ~30 degree E facing slope at 8300' elevation.
