Comments
HS-NL-R2D3-S. Wind drifted hard slab was triggered from loose snow cascading off headwall above slab from day time heating on ENE facing chutes. Cornices have not yet built on Timp ridge above Cascade Cirque. Doesn't appear to involve old snow, but grauple may be involved in the failing interface.
