Comments

Only a few natural avalanches from the Sat night through Sunday storm. Photo is of the most unique, looks to have started as just a storm slab at the ridge, but debris triggered a hard slab mid slope. Hard slab looked to have failed at the ground, assumed on facets. Unknown if it was a repeater.
