Group of 5 skied Main Willow and saw this avalanche off of 10009. It was obvious which slope the wind was taking snow from and where it was putting it. USA Bowl is down to dirt at the ridge, while South Monitor got loaded with large amounts of the wind transported snow. Wind loading and a weak faceted snowpack suggests slopes such as these receiving this transported snow will be touchy for a while.
