Avalanche mid-slope likely caused by cross loading. Derek had no idea it even slid until he turned around at the bottom.
Manageable and unlikely to have carried, but showing effects of wind loading. The early morning wind wasn't too strong but increased considerably over the course of the tour. Substantial snow transport observed off Thunder Ridge, Hogum's, Lake Peak, White Baldy, and Red Baldy. Winds coming from South/Southwest.
