Start Zone Elev:

9800ft

Size:

D2

Type:

SS-Soft Slab

Trigger:

N-Natural

Comments:

I only saw the fresh debris pile. The peak/starting zones were obscured. I'm guessing on the aspect (could be E-S-SW) and crown elevation (could be 9600-10,400'). The starting zone would have been wind-loaded given the appearance of alpine terrain we could see in that area.
