Natural Wind-Slab in Beehive

We observed a small cornice triggered avalanche (R1-D1.5) from a wind-loaded gully off Peak 10602 that likely slid during or soon after the recent storm cycle. The slide had a crown of approx. 8-15in, and ran ~300ft. We ascended and skied the south face of 10602, and found good bonding of new snow to the old sun crust in a column test (ECTX) and several hand pits. We also observed several other instances of recent cornice-fall in the basin.
