Comments
Artillery team observed signs of recent large natural avalanche and widespread debris in Toledo bowl area this morning. Most likely ran with natural cycle around 03:00. Possibly two seperate pieces or just left a sliver of snow where the skinner to the ridge / Holy Toledo usually goes. Took out sides of gully and lower flagstaff skinner to where the slope eases about 8800ft. Although slab was relatively large its softness is probably what kept it from running a significant distance or reaching the road. N-SS-R4-D2.5
