Notes

From obs: 5/9/21: "Yesterday we went to check out the new snow in Beehive Basin.... While traversing... along the north ridge of 10602, we triggered a small wind slab   that carried down into Peruvian, which then released another small w wind slab on a northeast a aspect of the face (photo). The crown height of this w wind slab was measured at 60cm at it's deepest point, and approximately 30ft wide by 10ft long.

Looking down into the face of Peruvian, we observed a natural dry loose slide that released from the ridge. We observed an increase in wind speed throughout the morning, and a shift in wind direction from west to southwest in the early morning moving to west to north west by the late morning."
