The location where the avalanche was triggered is significantly shallower, more faceted, and has a stout melt freeze crust on top of depth hoar near the ground that does not exist in other locations. The slab was barely cohesive enough to act as a slab and appeared cross loaded from winds on 2/14. We observed pockets of wind slab with pole tests on nearby and adjacent slopes with a similar aspect and elevation.
It is also important to note that we have NOT found any buried facets or had propagation in our pits in other locations for weeks.
