General Comments

Climbed up Storm Mt. rock to get better view of the slide in Stairs gulch from the 9th or 10th.

Running probably to the big bend in the avalanche track. Using Google Earth, the slide dimensions are probably more like 3' x 1,100' x 3,400'. Still a medium sized event relevant to Stairs Gulch.
