Comments
Yeah I know, glide avalanches in December in a shady drainage, go figure. This avalanche had all the markings of a glide avalanche, glide crack and bershrung at the crown, on a steep rock slab, looked fresh, either this morning or yesterday. And the biggest clue is that I witnessed another glide avalanche pull out right before my eyes above the diving at 12:30 I’ll list that one separately
