Looked in West Monitor this morning and noticed a very small slab that popped out very low in the bowl, almost near the bottom. Sorry, no photo as cold temps killed the camera battery. Looked like it was triggered by a sluff that initiated in the cliff bands. Looked to be new snow only, about a foot deep, only about 15 feet wide and running about the same. My guess is the weak layer was graupel that pooled below the cliffs. Nothing else of note in West Monitor other than the sluffing off the cliffs. NE wind was funneling straight up the bowl.
