Had a look into West Monitor yesterday during the storm, seems like it avalanched on the same schedule as the rest of the PC Ridgeline. When I looked in yesterday I could see rocks and bushes in the starting zone, they were covered up today. Not sure of the Crown length in this one either, Went from the SE facing to the N facing, basically wall to wall except the for skiers right side.
