Comments
While snowshoeing above Silver Lake Brighton I noticed a couple of relatively small yet destructive avalanches on Solbright. Some of the debris piles along the slides path were in the 5-6 foot range. The first picture below shows the slide from its terminus looking up the slides path where the May sun had all but melted out some areas. The other pics show some of the slides depth and also damage to the aspen that are prevalent on Solbright.
