Comments
This small avalanche likely popped out naturally after the snow stopped Thursday night or even sometime Friday morning as there was little or no new snow on the bed surface or debris. The most notable thing about this slide is the aspect is West-Northwest (300 degrees), showing that upper elevation West/Northwest may be as problematic as the north/east.
