This avalanche also looked like it ran on the early season PWL. Not sure about the dimensions due to the constant wind loading but there was a lot of vegetation and some dirt still showing in the bed surface so i'm inclined to think it ran on facets at the ground. The debris also ran well out onto the flats. The size of the crown was obscured by the constant wind loading but it probably ran a bit earlier than the one in S Monitor because it was filled in more. There was also a nice size slide in W Monitor but I didn't get close enough to get any valid information.
