Comments
Saw this avalanche on my approach up rodeo ridge on 1/25. Appeared to be no tracks into or out of the slide so I am unaware of the cause. Looks to have slid the day previous, likely on 1/24. Skinner went adjacent to the slide as well as some ski tracks, as you can see lookers left of the slide in the photo. Was out for a solo scouting mission so I didn't investigate the slide fully, but figured it would be worth an observation. Roughly 12 inch crown, possibly deeper in some areas and about 80ft wide on an east facing slope around 7700 feet.
