Quick report

Observed a decent sized hard slab debris pile that seemed to have released naturally while walking out from Bagley Basin (no tracks leading in or out of crown or debris). Seemed to have potentially released yesterday, 2/19 Potential wind slab formation due to cross slope loading from strong southerly winds on 2/19. Saw no other signs of instability while on a tour up Herman.
