Weather
It was around 10/10:30am, it had been more or less cloudy all morning, but still warm (around 30-40 degrees).
Snowpack
It had snowed a bit the day before, so there was a few inches of fresh snow on the top layer (hence where the cloud came from on the avalanche). Other than than it was getting pretty wet and warm. Assuming a wet slide? Honestly...I hope someone else reported this because I'm no expert on snow pack and snow science.
Avalanche
Again....Inside Cristo Couloir on Quandry. It was set off by snowboarder #3 of the day around 13,500-14,000' and went straight down the gully. It slid to about 12,000'
