Avalanche observed in Old Reliable, poor visibility prevented any photos of the slide. Debris appeared to be at least 1 meter deep. Wind Loading appeared to have been a contributing factor in this avalanche. Widespread Touchy Storm Slabs initiating on pre-storm NSF's. Depths ranged from 30 to 45cm. During High PI at 1400 this sensitivity became even more slabby/reactive. See photo of cracking while skiing.
