Sunny (no cloud cover), no to very light wind. SSE Aspect, Elevation: ~11,800'

Snowpack

We didn't take a crown profile, but there were several inches of new snow in the upper 110s (were we observed the crown), sun was strong, Postage Stamp looked very wind loaded before it slid (shiny, bulbous).

Avalanche

Slope is SSE, Elevation is 11,800'. Looked like R3, D2 to me. Slide looked like it stepped down to ground in certain areas.
