Comments

First believed to natural activity in closed unskied terrain of Milly Bowl at Brighton Resort. Upon further investigation we believe this was a collapse and propigation resulting from avalanche dog climbing in the flats just before the ridge. Cracks leading from dogs foot prints intersected the crown face. Judging by second hand info the dog triggered the collapse that lead to this rather small, but deep pocket coming out
