Comments
I am guessing this occurred late in the day on Friday March 15th. There were a couple other slides posted from that day in the same area that occurred at 2:30 in the afternoon and this one wasn't mentioned and it was hard to miss. A completely different day in there today, cold, windy and locked up good. No chance of a wet/heat related avalanche. I thought I was going to break my whippet trying to stick it into the debris for the pic, rock hard!
