Dudley Creek avalanche #2. This avalanche took place on a SE facing slope that was heavily wind loaded by strong NW winds. It likley occurred over a week ago, probably on the 23rd or 24th of January. This is a classic example of weak, faceted snow forming around a rock band, then getting loaded to its breaking point by new and windblown snow. GNFAC
