D2

N-Natural
Comments:

Had a tough perspective on this, hard to estimate size well. Debris pile would've been a 2.5 if it was a single event but it looked like it was more likely a few D2s running around the same time. Some of the crowns looked like simple wind slabs, others looked like mid-slope persistent crowns around the right depth for 1/3 involvement, pretty low confidence on that.
