Saw this avalanche in West Monitor Bowl this morning, debris looked really fresh with no new snow on it, crown was around a foot and a half at its deepest point, and about 125ft wide at its widest ran to the flats at the bottom. This portion of West Monitor Bowl is basically a unsupported and steep snow field at the top and tends to avalanche allot. Looked like new snow only in a spot that gets wind loaded by NW winds. It is a repeater that as already slid this year, but I don't think it went into older snow layering.
Photos: whole deal, close up of the crown, form far away for perspective, and one from the side.
