Avalanche Details
The photo you see is as close as we got. We think it's likely that this avalanche released naturally overnight due to loading/ crossroading with the West winds. We estimate a 1 to 3 foot crown. The lookers right side of the crown looks like it's been reloaded with wind blown snow. Bed surface is unknown.
Weather
15 degrees F, calm, and few clouds today. Blowing snow with W and SW winds on ridge lines.
Snow surface
new snow. 20 cm ski pen. 45 cm boot pen.
