I was in the same area yesterday so this is kinda a combination of both days. Since the Christmas avy cycle I've been curious if South Monitor had slid, I looked at it a couple times during that time period and could not tell for sure if it had cleaned itself out or not, then after the east wind event I started not to care because it got hammered by the wind. But with the new snow this week it was time to find out what was up with this slope and see if skiing it seemed prudent. Yesterday I side steeped down about 30ft into the starting zone while constantly probing the depth of the snow below me, it was soon evident that it had slid to the ground and there was new snow only in the steep upper starting zone, I also got a good look at the trees in the bottom of the bowl and it was clear they had debris piled in the small pines at the bottom. The light was not good and I decided wait a day and ski it when visibility was better. With no real wind or a slab of any sort decided it was a good idea, the only activity in the area was sluffing of the new snow on the steep SE facing part of the bowl which had a slick melt freeze crust underlying it. This is kinda the thought process I go through when trying to suss a slope out. I haven't seen a track in this bowl in about 4 weeks, when we remotely triggered a slide in it. I was kind of dumfounded when after seeing a couple tracks in it a hoard of people congregated and punched it with out a second thought, I was curious and asked a few people if they would have skied it without seeing tracks in it and they all said no.
