Comments
This is a repeater in an area that previously avalanched during the solstice cycle. Likely failed Monday during the high winds. Dug a pit right next to the crown and couldn't get propagation and structure was not overly weak. This shows the pockety nature of this problem, with slopes that have previously avalanched now very difficult to distinguish from those that haven't.
