There was a safe terrain feature to check out some big cracks, which lead to a lot of big blocks of snow that didn’t quite have enough steepness to fully slide. You could see the avalanche debris into the distance across the slope, but with limited visibility due to the shape of the terrain. 3’ crown is easily and safely reached on skis.
(This could be the same slide that Chambers had reported from their vantage across the drainage.)
