Start Zone Aspect
North

I was on top of the reed and benson ridge yesterday morning (01/14) and saw a fairly large crown across the east face of Kessler peak. The crown went from the eastern aspect and propagated across the slope to the north and around the corner to the north facing slope. It was unclear what triggered the slide but it looked like it was triggered on 01/15 before 8am and took out the skin track headed up the slope. There were many tracks on the face just north of the slide as well. I couldn't get a picture when I was out yesterday and did not get a good look at it to tell how deep it was.

Forecaster: This was first reported vaguely on Thursday, and is in Friday morning's Forecast in Recent Avalanche Activity. But it never made it into the Avalanche List so thank you! Patrick Fink photo below
