Comments
The sun peaked out just long enough to see 5 large avalanches off Cougar Peak this afternoon. I was too slow to get a decent picture of the slides. The West facing slope started at the summit at 9300 feet and stopped at around 7800 feet. the Southwest slopes stopped around 7900 to 8200. I wish the sun would have stayed out a little longer to get a picture of the impressive slides
