Went for a tour up Mineral to see what was going on with the new snow. Looked up to see Moonlight completely ripped from the very top of the ridge. In the photos, wherever you look, you can see a crown. This was most definitely a natural avalanche, as there were no skinners going up mineral. Lots of wind and very heavy snow likely was too much of a load for the weak facet layer.
