<p>Size 2.5 natural avalanche likely during the last big weather pulse (November 10-11). Couloir was filled with >1.5 m of progressively denser debris covered by a few centimeters of fresh snow. The fan of the Kindergarten proper had a deep gouge down the middle but the skiers left side held great, albeit spooky turns on 20 cm + of settling powder, resting on a 5-10 cm rain crust, with 10 cm of settled snow underneath, all that overlying 10 cm of facets and hollow space. More load and/or the breaking down of the thick crust will likely result in an avalanche cycle on these fans.</p>
