Comments
Watched this loose wet movement happen naturally at 12:00 pm on far skiers left side of Reynold East Face. Started with a tiny (softball size) break-off, but picked up a decent amount of wet snow along the way, running about 600' or so. Walked over the look at it and it didn't have much depth/height to it (see side profile picture).
It was very warm out there today and the sun made it hot, even with the wind. Just before this happened, we made a comment about how nice and untouched that face looked.
