Took advantage of a good refreeze to enjoy a decent window of stability this morning. We noted numerous D1 to D3 avalanches that have run in the past few days. See photos
To 6700'
Date estimated. Last observed this terrain on 4/2 and it was not there at that time.
Looked like a huge cornice fall that gouged down to the ground (rock slab) on the east face. Couldn't make out a clean crown; my sense is that particular spot gets pretty wind scoured and doesn't have much of a snowpack. Regardless, it entrained a lot of dry snow on the way down and the extent of the debris was impressive. It merged with the debris from the other slide on Penrose, so its hard to tell exactly when or how large each slide was.
Soft slabs triggered by wet loose avalanches, combined to make D2. Failure date estimated, could have been anytime between 4/4 and 4/7
Failure date estimated.
Failure date estimated. Could have been anytime in past week. Debris was covered by yesterday's wind transport though.
