Classic surface hoar activity. Structure showed it's hand early on with easy tilt tests and localized collapsing. Note below how the avalanche not only released beneath the ridgeline but pulled the rug out up and above the windroll there on a 20 degree 'slope'. No sympathetic releases noted. Other minor remote releases, cracking in both the fracture line and stauchwall on slopes that did not release.
