Snowpack

collapsed winds lab in mayflower gulch, sounded like a thunder clap, 1 crack above the crest of the pillow and 2-3 inches of movement downhill on about 20 degree slope, not sure if it was not steep enough to slide or if it collapsed onto less steep terrain. it was located on the roll over where the skin track usually crests the cornice on the north facing (gold?) hill... I dug a few hand puts and there was and out 3-5 inches of very facited snow, with out much new snow, much different than the pit I dug last week, sorry no photos, I got out Asap Aspect: N Elevation: Near treeline
