Noticed this connected pocket in the Tuscarora apron whilst ridge walking in the Brighton Basin. Talking with Patrol, this slab was likely triggered on Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, back in the sun... south facing slopes stayed cold 'til around noon. On the other half of the compass, steep north facing terrain produced long running sluffs, entraining more snow than you might suspect.
