Comments
Forecaster Comments - Awesome video of apparent loose snow sluff off of Elk Point. This appears to be relatively harmless from the hiking trail, and just a privilege of watching an example of the beauty of nature, but Elk Point has had some huge avalanches in its past, putting travelers in the Aspen Grove area in danger, even when it appears they are a far distance away from the start of the avalanche.
