Skied George's today and observed what appeared to be a wall to wall natural in Room of Doom that also pulled out pockets in Santiago. Likely occurred on 2/8 or maybe early morning 2/9, hard to know.

Crown varied in depth, but we estimate a crown of just over 12" for most of it, with pockets that looked to be 24" or more. Probably all of the new snow that the cottonwoods received over the last days, failing on the new/old snow interface, but hard to judge from the George's ridge above.

Ran to the plateau at the bottom of Room of Doom (600-800 ft?), with the Santiago pockets running further.
