Notes
From an email:
"Got hit by a pretty decent loose snow avalanche from above while topping out on Killer Piller up Flanders. Had a decent stance so I was able to hold on. Also observed more than a few coming down gullies on the other side of the drainage. It was lightly snowing all day and dead calm in the drainage, so presumably winds were cranking on the ridgetop."
