Weather

30 degrees, no wind, overcast.

Snowpack

Approx 4-6" of new snow at 11,600', and the snowpack seemed to be slightly more loaded at the top. No crown profile was done, but looks to have ran on the new snow layer, and stepped down to rock after the previous wind event on the north faces.

Avalanche

During the avalanche, another group was able to yell about the avalanche, allowing each member to pull into safety as the avalanche passed. Nobody was hurt.
