I discovered the remaining hang fire on Hoyt Peak naturally slide sometime after I was up there on the 28th. It pulled out on a on a heavy wind load pocket then extended along the peak to meet up with the natural that occurred on the 27th. I took a pic of the wind load the other day because it was a little out of the ordinary to have that large of a wind slab in that location with such little snow. Sure enough, with a little more load the slope failed.
