Notes
From obs: "North facing, cross loaded, mid-mountain slope on an east to west running rib at around 9,600'. Typically this zone is scoured by W-SW winds. Mild to moderate winds and new snow of 10-12" sitting on an exceptionally weak base produced a natural release during the recent storm cycle, possibly early AM 2/15/24. The slide appeared to run full track, 800' +, taking out most of the north facing wall."
