Quick report

Skied various aspects on Ben Stewart in the morning before the heat of the day. Found supportable corn skiing on E and S aspects prior to 11am.

Avalanche

Observed a recent avalanche in Wedding Bowl that took out parts of the standard skin track and ran the full length of the bowl. It appeared to be triggered by a cornice failure and occurred earlier this week (before the recent sun and heat). Crown appeared to be approximately 1-2’ deep.
