This was the most interesting looking sign of avalanche activity from the rain event. From further away it looked like a cornice feature but angular, step down features in the crown lead us to suspect it was a slab (or wet slab), probaby tirggered by loose wet from steep terrain above. East Gully of Herman at ~5200.
