- <p>Stuffing. Fairly shallow (6") we triggered several but naturals as well. It's new snow (past 2 weak refresers) and old surface facets . Very Manageable.</p> <p>Toured down days fork.</p> <p> </p> <p>Looks like Bannana belt slid. I'm wildly guessing late Dec probably similar timing as around the 2 dogs slide based on crown being similarly exposed/ visible and lack of visible debris.</p> <p> </p> <p> A guess would be over 1000' wide, wrapping around. Unsure of how connected. Skinning up there is a poor bond about 12" down.</p> <p> </p> <p>Repeater comments-</p> <p>My partner noticed that there is thin (3') weak junky snow @ 10000' 70' below ridge ene) that a ski pole punches thru very easily. Crown not visible above but would guess there is one.</p> <p> </p> <p>My hunch is two dogs / upper days that avalanched might be similar, thin snow that is loosing strength, faceted junky snow pack.</p> <p> </p> <p>This repeater issue doesn't matter now-something to consider if we ever get a new slab.</p> <p> </p> <p>No windslab issues observed. Light winds on ridges, otherwise calm.</p> <p> </p>
