Avalanche Details

The bottom half of the Jumbo Couloir naturally slid wall to wall on what appeared to be the new snow/old snow interface. Crown depth looked to be about 30cm. The upper half of the couloir did not slide.

I dug a pit at 3500’ at the entrance to couloir and got the following results:

CTM17 down 25cm Sudden Planar
CTH22 down 30cm Sudden Planar
ECTN18 down 25cm
