During last weeks avalanche cycle some slopes on Saddle Peak naturally released. The "X" marks the location where I dug a pit with Karl on December 17 and again with Eric and Mark in the 31st. We got clean, propagating shears in our ECT which seemed to indicate instability quite well. Check out the Dec 17 video or today's photo "Saddle Peak Snowpit" for more info. Photo: Tony Saracelli
