Comments

Observed the biggest N aspect size 3 Na, crown around 1600m running down to full runout around 1000m, app. 24-48hrs old (see photo) Most of many other usual spots all ran in recent warm avy cycle, all surface snowmelt/wind slab related. Temperature crust exist from below treeline up to treeline. Treeline and above has wind/temperature crust combo. The crust is supportive for skiing if not pressing too heavily.
