Comments
Saw this avalanche on the N facing head wall in Cardiac just west of the Keyhole, not sure if it was triggered by someone walking the ridge or from the constant wind loading from S facing Superior, the crown looked to be a couple feet deep 60 ft wide and ran about 400 ft. The wind was loading the N facing lee aspects all day
