- Avalanche Description: 50 wide crown. Did not investigate further
Breaking trail from the restrooms on Schuylkill, I watched 2 skiers descend Thanksgiving bowl. The first skier triggered a slide he described as “d2”. Both skiers descended safely, and we all got outta there.
I dug quick pits at the base and bench without result on ect tests. The slide was triggered on new snow, as the crown occurred where yesterday’s snow had been sluffed the day before
