Comments
Spotted this avalanche yesterday that looks to be on the facet/crust combo, although is on the high end of the elevation band for this weakness. A few days old, but still noteworthy.
Also numerous loose snow sluffs off the steep E side of the mountain, with no noticeable slabs.
Average HS at 8400ft. in the area was 150cm.
