Avalanche Information

Remote triggered a cross loaded open area at TL at Narao earlier today that was wind affected. Terrain was barely 30 deg but we knew the pocket was likely loaded so we threaded carefully. Estimate size 1.5 - 2.0. Crown depth ranged from 30-90cm and it quickly ran on facets overlying a crust. Some of the slabby chunks were quite impressive. Ski down was actually a PITA - bottomless facets with no support with adler knee bashing and running facets on top of sparse crust. Boot pen was to ground - N aspect may be better but W aspect across from Cathedral was quite horrendous.
