Comments
Two naturals spotted that happened in the last day or two. Both on SE slopes between 10,300' and 9800' on 37-40deg slopes.
Crowns were only 4-12" deep and 200'-300' wide. Both failed above a MF crust with cold dry stellers and some facets on the crust. The most notable thing was I felt two seperate collapses as I skinned above one of the crowns. SE still seems like its trying to adjust!
