Comments
2nd deep slab avalanche of the day. This one on north face of Cherry Peak. Starting zone about 100 vertical feet below the Cherry Peak north cliff. Crowns from a few feet to several feet. Suspect trigger was cornice fall from the top of the cliff. This slide ran a long way almost to the bottom of the basin at 7,600 ft. Numerous lateral and terminal debris piles several feet high. Date unknown, but suspect within the last week. Starting zone up-left of the skier in the photo.
