Comments
Natural from the last storm cycle, perhaps overnight? Not certain of that though. Also lots of evidence of wind transport on open S facing slopes that wasn't there yesterday afternoon.
Comments
Two natural avalanches are pictured, and it looks like the one to the north (~200' wide) happened more recently than the one on the left (south, ~400')
