Quick Observation

Toured up to China Bowl today to get out of the crowds and came across this wet storm slab that must have fallen during the night when the temperature went up. Healthy size 1 avalanche, debris was about 150m long and 35m wide. The debris didn't seem to deep but was stiff as cement. Noticed another size 1 natural at tree line probably around 1600m over a roller, we could tell it slid because the start point looked very shallow and on some rocky uneven terrain (not featured in the pictures below). Good boarding over all in tree line but heavy puff snow at the bottom. No signs of whumping, cracks on our tour up, everything felt pretty stable and sheltered from the wind. -The Shrimps.
