main large shoot in cirque with cool dead bristlecone tree(grandma?). there appeared to be a fracture at the very top just below cornice, crown not as deep, debris ran to apron, which triggered another larger avalanche midway down the apron. pretty big cornice on top (bus sized) Not sure on timing, i saw yesterday, got pics today. i am guessing 4th or 5th.
