"1000 to 1500ft wide, foot deep unintentionally triggered, got dragged down about 40ft and made my way to the side, broke out on graupel resting on the old snow surface."
"I am thinking the slab was more dense and connected later in the day, due to wind and maybe humidity. It propagated way farther than I would have ever thought due to the pockety nature of all the other activity we saw earlier."
