Comments
A very long running avalanche. While from afar it appears to be a point release caused by wet snow, closer inspection near the ridge reveals a crown and flanks more characteristic of a slab avalanche. This avalanche was able to entrain a significant amount of snow given its small start zone and run almost into the drainage. A crown profile could not be gathered.
