Comments
Loose snow avalanches cascading out of steep chutes into the Upper Cascade Cirque basin from solar input and slight rise in temp on fresh light density cold snow. Old snow/new snow interface most likely has poor bonding due to old snow forming a crust from warm temps prior to latest round of snow and cold temps following the storms exit.
