Comments
We didn't go to the crown because we felt the conditions were too dangerous. I am not sure of the slope angle because we didn't go to the avalanche to measure it. This slide ran about 1713 feet. This slide may have been triggered by a cornice that broke loose and fell. There were large cornices above the side and we could see large chunks that have broken loose and fell on the slopes beneath the cornice.
