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 bed surface was not clearly a sun-crust and was of low quality and remained relatively soft to ski on after the 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."
