Comments
Saw the remains of a large wet slide at the bottom of 1st Waterfall which looks like it started in the cliff/waterfall area several hundred feet above the quarry and deposited debris 15 to 20 feet deep on the upper quarry road. The debris runs across the road and a short bit down towards the lower part of the quarry. A few inches of fresh snow on top of the debris which likely times the incident to the warming spell late last week.
Comments
Forecaster's Comments: Not much snow at all at that elevation in the last several weeks: I think I observed this one along with numerous others from the same time-frame (2-14...2-16-) on 2-21-2014 see........Avalanche, First Waterfall Area
On 2/28/2014 I was in the area, saw the avalanche you mention, and witnessed a completely different type of wet avalanche activity. Thanks though, can never get too many observations of important avalanches in the big backcountry.
