Snowpack
The 2/2 interface was down 45cm at 9,900ft and down 65cm at 11,300ft. The interface was SH 6mm to 10mm. The slab above was F to 4F. ECTN at the lower elevation and ECTP 23 SP at the upper location. Ski pen was about 15 to 20cm. The snowpack was surprisingly quiet. The weak layer looked untrustworthy and we kept terrain choices conservative.

Hard to say when this avalanche ran. Perhaps 2/9 or maybe earlier. The crown looks a little drifted ver on the lookers left side.
