Avy in Great Scott Bowl? was created by Samuraijr
I haven't seen it reported here, but given all the excitement over at Crystal, I thought I'd point out that according to Facebook and Martin Volken, part of Great Scott Bowl below the Tooth slid sometime this week.  Nice crown, things are going deep.  : www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbi...359376&stream_ref=10

I'd like to know specifically what day it slid, does anyone know?

I was there Tuesday and it looked to be about 36 to 48 hours old judging by the amount of snow on top of the debris. It is on a southeast aspect and the crown likely began in a gully at approximately 4600 feet.  Not a very steep slope either. Maybe sun heating rocks with these rotten layers soaked by rain? Quite sobering and chose mellow stuff the rest of the day.

Thanks for the post. (I don't use Facebook.)

From the pictures and captions, that appears to be the slope right below the east face of The Tooth. Correct?

Gee, if they'd just waited a day before bombing it.... oh wait, there was no bomb.   :-[

Wow, another big slide. This shit is scary. Don't know that I am going to head out until it all comes down first.

the beauty of debate is education. A sideways TG can form near rocks and morph snow near but also away from rocks. Also of course shallow areas created by bigger rock and wind erosion. Edit to add. It really doesn't matter who is wrong or right, which offen depends on Pov, just that the solutions that are reached benifit the community as a whole and not simply serve  greed and ego.


Wait wut?

For reals. 

Wrong or right? Solutions?  Greed?  Ego?  I read this thread simply as a PSA about another post-event observation in some of our local terrain.  But then again I might have missed something.
