Dogtooth Range natural avalanche

Noted one recent size 2 avalanche from the past 12 hrs in a steep wind effected NE facing bowl at 2400m. We also had several moderate sized whumphs in open areas at tree line. A snow pit at 2300m on a 28 degree NE aspect gave moderate to hard Sudden Collapse results down 45cm below a crust in the sugary facets at the base of the snowpack. Barely enough snow to ski planar features above 1900m.

Similar looking avalanche to the skier remote we had 2 days ago, sorry no photo today. Its not impossible that this was also a remote triggered avalanche but we had no notable large settlements while travelling up the ridge.

Wind effect in alpine from N and W winds, surface hoar in sheltered areas, this overlies 40cm of snow that has a density of fist to 1 finger, this sits on a 2cm crust that appears to be faceting and breaking down, below this is 20cm of faceted sugar snow sized 2-4mm to ground.
