Quick report

While guiding guests to the summit of Mt Washington observed that the southeast snowfields just North of Winter route (Winter Lion Head) clearly avalanched prior to our climb. A week prior while guiding I noticed large slab conditions and heavy snow loading in that area. Large debris field and photo shows obvious fracture line .
