Avalanche

Anonymous · May 2, 2020 · Vail & Summit County

41 at 430am in town. Maybe freezing at trailhead. Light clouds building wind no new snow

Climbed w facing chute starting at 10.5k to 13k. Spooky punchy wet snow BTL building to a 5" crust at 13k

S facing ridge at 13k had significant wet slab release, likely triggered from cornice fall on may 1. Propagated across the slope. Maybe r2d2
