The avalanche happened between our first and second run on Short Swing (~2:00pm) and was observed from the summit of point 9269 in the NW facing gully between Short Swing and PP3. We did not investigate closely as there was no safe way to descend to the crown so all figures are approximate. It appeared to be quite small but cracking could be seen on connected slopes up to 500' away (visible in attached photo.)
