Weather

Clear, calm, only occasional breeze along the ridges

Snowpack

As expected. Hollow, faceted, essentially bottomless to the ground. Mostly about 70-100cm of settled snow in the low angle areas below this slide zone.

Avalanche

SE facing aspect, likely occurred Fri or Sat. 12,000’ elevation. Snow was hollow everywhere, including the low angle slopes where I made some turns.
