Comments
Riders triggered a good-sized avalanche on Saturday in the Birch Creek Area. No injuries were reported, but several trees were apparently snapped off, and the large debris pile crossed and buried the trail.
There is a chance that this is the same avalanche that was reported to be near the top of the German Dugway. https://utahavalanchecenter.org/avalanche/82830
