Comments
Toledo appears to have gone estimated time during peak instability on Sunday, crowns refilled and debris pile has new snow on top. Debris filled the gully and ran past the summer road down towards Peruvian. Debris looks guite deep as the gully is fairly filled. It splashed up on the west side of the gully snapping some new trees. The SW-W's below false flagstaff went in multiple pockets. It appeared that Toledo chute went as well, I could not confirm that toledo face went. Obviously more filled in and covered on the easterlies from all the wind. I could not tell if the SW under the bigger cliff went, it looked very "fat"
