Comments
Yesterday, I took some photos of recent natural wet avalanche activity in the Wellsvilles. The avalanches occurred because of melting due to this week's rapid and intense warmup. Many recent natural cornice falls, wet slabs, and dangerous wet loose avalanches are visible from across Cache Valley.
