Avalanche Information

Equinox (top) slid some time just before the end of the storm (March 5th 2:00pm was a guess). It looks like it started below the ridge crest but it may have started higher on pascall. It ran for about 400 vertical meters. The crown looked small (maybe 20-30cm) and there were no big chunks in the debris. It was full width. I did a compression test on the west side of pascall just below ridge crest that indicated failure at about 20 cm down (9th elbow tap/ CTM19).
