Observation coming from Avy 1 course, multiple/duplicate observations submissions may exist.

We (Avy 1 class) did not tour up today but simply looked at snow just outside the gates, South of Gad2.

The party was split up into two groups.

Group 1 (this observation)

Aspect: SW (220deg)

Elevation: 9950ft

Group 2 (see other observation if posted)

Aspect: ~NE

Elevation: Similar

*Group 2 was 40-60 yards away from Group 1 but on the other side (NE) of the knoll.*

Spoiler, similar results were seen by Group 2 compared to Group 1.
