Snow Obsdrvation includes images

We saw a point release that mobilized a slab of new snow on an East facing slope off of mt fox in cooke city. 
 

cool example of a roller ball turning into a point release and into a wet slide avalanche. The new snow had heated up considerably during the day on Sunday. There were some older crowns below a cornice to the north of mt fox (second photo) with slide debris that extended down the whole face (600ft). Likely slid during a storm within the last week
