Comments
This most likely released late during the storm, this area is an extended ridge that is very rocky, steep, and on the leading windward edge of the summit ridge, a usual suspect, and does repeat. Visibility was limited up high, we just happens to spot this on a ride over to clear the interval board and got a break in the clouds. We did not see any other activity, but a natural cycle has likely occurred,
