Weather
Broken sky, air temp in low 20's, light to moderate wind
Snowpack
Snowpack on similar aspects/slope was anywhere from 100-200cm snow, 30-50cm+ basal facets that is developing more dense/firm snow on top due to both radiation and wind loading.
Avalanche
It appears that this started as a natural loose point-release in a small gully near rocks above the obvious crown, then likely propagated across wind-loaded area under rockcliffs, and then eventually broke to ground near willows/small trees. Unknown time of slide, observed at approx 11am 3/27/21 U-N-R2-D2-O
