As I was skinning up the ridge along 10420 (hoping to see some activity), I watched a snowmobiler spook a moose out of the trees. As soon as the moose took a step at the bottom of the slope the whole thing fractured. The slide broke 30cm from the ground, on facets above the crust. The crust was weaker than what I saw the other day near Catherines Pass, but nonetheless had large facets above and below.
What was also super interesting was how far the shooting crack went out towards the south end of the slide - probably another 75+ feet.
20181124~1523: SS-SW-R2-D2 - NE aspect off 10420 9700' (approx 30-35 degrees) 30cm from ground on facets; 30' wide x 70' fall.
