Comments
Photo shows Nov 23rd rain crust sitting under Nov 26 rain crust with facets inbetween and ~5cm of new snow on top. Snow below crust was VERY saturated. We also did see a Size 2 avalanche that released across the valley and travelled through ~75-80% of full avalanche path. This was the West-side of Twin Lakes. Assuming it was a small wind loaded slab that released and then stepped down to a crust.
