Comments

Observed the remnants of a size 2 avalanche on South East aspect. Crown was 0.8m x 70m, ran about 150m. Looks like it slide overnight or this morning. Surprising to see as wind was out of the south ~30km\hr and visible transport across

the prairie loading on the steep northern aspects. Did not investigate what interface it slide on, however based on depth of crown, likely surface or or facets from early December. Ski safe this weekend!
