Joel's Belly which broke 12-18" deep 50+' wide on the wind loaded south shoulder above the joel's zip drive - majority of the debris didn't go too far, southside portion rolled off the stubborn angle and down onto the z-fan.
Z-Chute southside above traverse to lost shot bowl removed the seasons snowpack down to the basal crust. 50-100 ft wide, pulling the faceted snow off the steep rocky wall to the south and put a lot of debris on the Z-Fan and ran 100ft below the south bowl traverse.
