Ted and I found this very large slide while stomping around in Chalk Creek yesterday. My sled is parked midway down the debris field.
Comments
Huge southerly winds the past few days loaded this very steep north facing slope. The avalanche broke wall to wall, to the ground, taking out the entire seasons snowpack.
