Weather

Sunny, calm (no or low winds) slightly above freezing at time of slide (11am), south east facing slope, 11,000 ft (>TL)

Avalanche

Wet slide down dragons tail couloir at 11am, beginning climbers right of the incisor. Recent storm snow slid on old bed surface. Much of the couloir's width was affected by the slide. May have been human triggered. There were people above the slide, but none of those we encountered later reported to have triggered it. Temperatures were also warm enough that it may have gone naturally, so cause unknown.
