Comments
Natural avalanche near the bottom of the face, approximately 20'x30'. A couple of spooky whoomphfs and one skier triggered crack on a similar slope and elevation about the same size. About 6" of snow came down while we skied in about 2.5 hrs. I will ski very mellow and conservative slopes tomorrow.
