wet slide ran 400'. "b" made an excellent avy report on on argenta chutes talking about lack of refefreeze over several nights. I would guess that this would be the time frame. avalanche in a pocket of rocky thin spot went to the ground. I put NW for aspect but Wnw closer. viewed from summer road 1/2 mile away so dimensions are a guess.

today was better than expected 2 star with low low angle being the ticket with 1" some grauple in the mix on a smooth wind buff and barely anyone out. Windy with snow avail for transport and actively doing so. solid refreeze last night.
