Quick report

I observed evidence of this large wet slab avalanche on Schukyll ridge during a hike up Gothic, around 8:45 AM. Unsure of when it ran. East facing surface snow was wet to ankle deep by 10am, and south facing surface snow was softened. Lack of solid refreeze last night left poor snow structure as the morning warmed up, post holing here and there to the top of the spoon.
