Aspect: North
Elevation: 11,900ft
Avalanches: About a 1 foot deep windblown slab broke loose from the top of the chute and traveled around 500 feet down the slope until it slowed down and stopped. It dragged a snowboarder down the slope about 50-60 feet. He managed to stay upright and cut into a safe zone.
Weather: Bluebird day around 10am
Snowpack: A fairly deep layer of powder up top with hard packed crust underneath.
