We observed this Natural wet slab in the Room of Doom this morning while we were skiing in Cardiff fk. John Mietschnig posted a natural avalanche cycle from Santiago through a portion of GB No that may have occurred around May 7. This looked to be a little more recent, likely last week before the welcomed cooler temps arrived. We assumed the oct/ nov facets getting lubed up due to the lack of freezing temps was the culprit.
