Both Two Dogs and Days Fork Headwall appeared to run natural, triggered by a cornice fall. Probably some time in the early morning with high winds and new snow. There was some new snow covering the crown/flank/bedsurface as far as I could see. There was grass poking out, so I would assume it ran to the ground on the basal facets. However; I did not inspect the slides at all, just noticed from the ridge. It was hard to decipher a debris pile, however some of the pine trees near the bottom of the paths, had snow plastered on them, by my guess ~6' high.
Glad it was new snow/wind load/cornice fall that triggered, not the weight of some skinners!
