Thought Toledo would be a good option this morning. Lots of people had similar thoughts. Roughly 50 vert from the ridge had some cracks shoot run 20' or so while putting in the track. Dropped into the face as others went to the chute. Winds were stronger than I thought they would be. I would say in the 15-20 mph range. After dropping into the face, noticed what appeared to be a natural. I believe it ran last night, but I am not certain. Visibility was very poor and we were unable to see anything in regards to width or length. We did not inspect it, but I assume it ran on the new snow/old snow interface. Still lots of rocks just under snow surface on Toledo. No photos as they wouldn't come out on the phone.
