Quick report

Walked down to ESE snowfield from summit of Humphreys. Thin cover all the way thru choke at Cheshire cliffs. Superficial wind slab 1-2” mildly reactive on upper slope. No freeze thaw noted. Avy debris below choke into Dunham Canyon with decent coverage and variable conditions down into Bear Paw Creek. Skied conservatively - egress thru cirque and over saddle into Snowbowl.

The east-southeast face of Humphreys may have released near the ground based on thin coverage on slope and debris below the Cheshire Hourglass Choke. The release was likely Feb 8 or 9. Lots of unknowns with this avalanche.
