Snowpit in crown of human triggered avalanche on Lulu

We triggered an avalanche of wind-drifted snow as we approached very carefully from a low angle slope above, on 1/30/2020. It broke within recently drifted snow, but these slides could be enough weight to break deeper and wider on sugary layers deep in the snowpack. Photo: GNFAC
