Avalanche Details

Mellow day spent investigating new snow/wind loading. Tracks from yesterday were totally covered and bowl appeared quite loaded. Chopped off small chunks of freshly built cornice. Avalanche was easily triggered and propagated out 60 feet in convexity. Same reaction with similar sized avalanche on the north side of the main diving board cliff.
