witnessed a sizeable dry snow avalanche over french reality at approx 7:45 as we pulled into stanley parking. considered pulling the plug for the day but the wind died down on the hike in, and we ended up climbing. The snow above the climbs will be getting more wind loaded onto that rain crust, though in the valley bottom coverage is low, and might give one a false impression of what lurks above. we did observe some solid debris at the base of man yoga where the saturated snow slid at the end of the last warming cycle. End of early season snow conditions at the headwall? Maybe. Time will tell, though I believe so.
