Quick report

We skied and skinned to the east of this slide and noticed it on our second climb up. Since we, nor anyone else today, had been over that way I believe it was a naturally occurring slide. There was quite heavy snow out there today and the radiation from the sun may have helped this release.

Avalanche

At around 5900ft on the south side of Crown Point we observed what seemed to be naturally occurring slab avalanche. Crown was about 6 inches.
