Comments
We came upon this natural avalanche on Saturday morning. It appears to have been wind drifted new snow that ran naturally at the end of the Friday storm. Photo 1 was our view of the avalanche on Saturday morning and photo 2 were the tracks on the debris and bed surface and adjacent to it by 1PM.
