Comments
Thought this natural avalanche was worth noting individually. It's a D2 around 9400ft on a W aspect, and appears to be a wet slab based on the crown and different coloration from the various wet loose avalanches nearby. Width and vertical run are estimates based on local topography in conjunction with mapping software.
