Looks to be just in new snow and the winds from this week. Small sluffs were found on under other cornices in the area also. No other avalanches were seen.
Checking the other areas the East side of the range got between 8 inches of snow to just 5 inches at the miller flat site. The West slopes facing the Fairview canyon had over a foot of settled snow. Only the new snow and and the older surface had not yet bonded well yet. As seen in last weeks snow pits could not see any big problems with the older snow and failures with extended column tests.
