Quick Observation

Large cornice failure on a north slope 72 hours plus. Produced a Sz 3.5 that gouged and stepped down. Ran 500m vertical, 300m crown. Debris running to mid runout. Ski out on west facing steep BTL slope had numerous skier controlled loose wet Sz 1s gathering mass and flowing through thick regen. Skied powder in alpine to supportive schmoo at treeline to heavy snot below treeline. Convective flurries moved through but the sun kept slopes warm.
