Quick report

Observed a slab avalanche (presumably wet) at upper elevations within Glacier National Park. 

•This slide is particularly notable as West aspects have been free of natural or human triggered slab avalanche activity, as of recent. 
•Time of release is hard to estimate as I haven't been monitoring this slope for a few weeks. Adam Clark with Snowslip Avalanche Safety was monitoring the Program area yesterday (4/6) and didn't see this crown.
