We saw the remnants of this avalanche today while hiking across and up canyon from the deposition. It is hard to know when exactly it ran but most likely it was during our last cycle (warming/rain event). The crown had blown in so the start elevation is a guesstimate. The most notable feature was that the deposition reached the gully and appeared to have ascended up the other side about 100-200 feet. Lots of broken trees. A sizable avalanche for this path.

The first photo is of the lower part of the avalanche path.

The second photo shows the gully and the deposition that ascended the other side.
