Snowpack

I found our 01/05/15 rain crust, ~85cm down. It's not going anywhere. Surface wind slabs were generally benign and starting to mellow out. Lots of junk in the upper pack, but nothing propagating, and no clean shears. I decided to do a PST just above the near surface facets on the rain crust. PST 35/90 to the end. It delaminated pretty good, didn't pop out though.

Avalanche

Natural release, likely during the cycle last weekend. No visible crown. R2-D1.5. NE aspect, 11,750", at treeline. No other information.
