this is kessler's western ridge. top of argenta slide path just to the west of the cliffs. did not make it to ridge. other slide paths skiers right look loaded/have not appeared to have slid. crown 50' below ridge in trees and hard to see in photo. crown is full width of photo. Bed did not have much snow on it. avalanche debris ended just short of the next pitch, small chunks. We dug 2 pits to the ground in area 9200' nw facing. snowpack 180 cm deep, bottom 30 cm were loose facets. Dec 25th is a guesstimate -
