Snowpack

A very brittle wind slab from the most recent storm is on top of a firm crust @ 11,000'-12,000' on E to NE

Avalanche

At the top of Garrett's (12,800') a ski cut triggered a thin wind slab (2"-6") this propagated about 20' wide and slowly ran down 600' at which point it stepped down in north facing pocket propagating with a 1'-2' crown. This was within the old snow.
