Comments
Spotted this avalanche on the E face of Reynolds Pk. Dimensions are estimated. After speaking with someone in the area last Sunday, this avalanche likely occurred on 2/16, and is south of the avalanche from the day before.
I performed a couple of ECTs on an east-facing slope at 9000' today, across the valley on the Beartrap divide. After some extra hits, both tests propagated 2 feet beneath the snow surface on a thin layer of small rounding facets.
