Was walking the ridge of South Monitor after I had already done a run, knocked out a small wind slab skiers right of the peak which intern released a larger wind slab to the right of that. The crown varied from a foot at its deepest to around 5 inches where it tapered off on the flanks, ran a couple hundred feet down the slope until it got down out of the wind loading. A hard bed surface underneath aided in the length it ran. Photos, a few of the crown, one from the debris pile down slope because I dropped my camera and it didn't stop sliding until it hit the debris, and one of some of the debris.
