12" of dense snow fell over night at more than 1.5" SWE, on top of a long standing weak snowpack. Almost a repeat storm of 10 days ago that produced numerous natural avalanches. Widespread collapsing has been occurring since that storm. This path did not run during that storm cycle. Difficult to tell from a distance if this was a storm slab or if it failed on a PWL at the December, 24 interface.
