Comments
Seen from the road on the drive up in the morning. Likely point released from snow falling from a tree.
photo was taken in the afternoon on the way down canyon, so difficult to see with 6-8 new snow covering it. 3 of these chutes had run in the morning.
Comments
Not super rare in this zone and not the largest avalanche but I felt it was noteable.
