Comments
I saw this avalanche upon reaching the top of West Monitor right in the center of the bowl. Looks to have occurred either last night or early this morning seeing it had a little new snow on the bed surface, most likely from a natural cornice drop. This path has already slid to the ground once and it went to the ground again, thus it’s a repeater avalanche.
