Comments
Came upon what appeared to be a natural caused avalanche between Willow knob and Neil's bullshit bowl. Where we could access, the crown appeared 18"-2'. Ran to the ground in some places or to the existing inches of weak snow. Initially thought this was a relatively small slide but once inspecting the south side of slide we could see it was at least 100 ft wide...maybe more. Out of safety chose not to investigate further.
