Comments
This avalanche ran on the Cutler headwall between Ben Lomond and Willard Peak, likely in the last 2 days. It began as a point release and entrianed enough snow to grow to size 2 and run about 250 feet.
There were also a few other recent size 1 wet point releases across the headwall, in addition to some older dry point releases from the weekend. South along the ridge, the Chilly Peak Slabs (directly below/east of Chilly Peak) also had a number of size 1 wet slides.
