Notes

From obs: Small D2 avalanche triggered while assessing the slope on a due-north facing aspect on a roughly 35-40 deg. slope at ~9000 ft. near Arden Lake in the Twin Falls drainage off the Main Fork of Hyalite. ....  Had about a 2 ft deep, 30 ft-long crown. The b bed surface was not clearly a sun-crust and was of low quality and remained relatively soft to ski on after the s slide There were crystals above that may be classified as facets, maybe 1mm dia. It seemed to have gone on a compacted layer that the 18" of fresh had weighted."
