Red Flags Comments
Had a couple of collapses that propagated 50ft+ on a heavily loaded ESE aspect at 9000ft, an interesting find. Upon inspection we found a crust/facet sandwich beneath the new snow (4F+) slab, about 30cm down. Layer was very reactive to tests: CTE, SP ECTP, 5 PST 30/100 (END) Also saw what looked like a couple recent avys on similar aspect/elevations, during 2/23 storm. SS-N-D2-O
