Seen on the S ridge of Kendall Knob 2 from the road going up KK 1. Too far away to photo. Looked about 50’ wide and crown deep enough to see from across the valley.

None reported

Observations

S2-3 most of the day, tapering down around 3pm. Rain in the parking lot when we returned, but everything above that was snow. We also saw a small wet loose avalanche on a NW aspect around 4000’ and got a mediocre picture.
