Looks like a D2 or D2.5 in the main couloir off the east face of La Sal Peak. Interesting the crown is half way down the slope. Couldn't see how far down it ran but probably at least 500' vertical. Also adding a photo of another D2 just to the east with about the same vertical, although a bit wider.
