lots of collapsing heading up towards gad 2 chair at the bird...so I walked towards the edge here to see if I could get anything to release and sure enough...location right shoulder off Election...NE-E aspects apx 100+ft wide running about 200ft, slope angle apx 32
triggered from where they are standing below [img]http://farm7.static.flickr.com
new dense snow sitting on a crust with facets underneath...new snow looks to be enough to collapse the crust layer and running on facets underneath and some spots to the ground
slide 2; a little further up Election...again walking along the shoulder to see if we can get things to pop....this one was triggered from where the picture was taken about 40ft away, small pocket but a little deeper
