Weather
Clear and warm. The new snow had obviously been loading over the ridge onto this slope.
Snowpack
New drifted snow on top of the bad layer. Crown was over a meter at the deepest point.
Avalanche
N-HS-R2-D2-I. Cool natural avalanche. Obvious wind loading. This path finally got enough load to trigger the weak layer. Cool to see how much snow it took to do it in this area.
