Comments
Saw recent crown below cornice on north end of Tent ridge (looks like ran to size 2 above larches). Wind was strong and temps were 2C at 3pm. About 10 cm of soft wind slab on top of denser old storm snow. These layers were failing on a crust about 60cm down sudden planar in multiple hasty pits.
