Didnt see this posted yet so wanted to at least share the photo. Right around the ridge from the squaretop slide. Guessing natural trigger at some point yesterday from heavy wind loading?
Depth and width are loose estimates didnt get up close to it. Crown was definitely 3+ ft in spots. Couldnt see all the way but looked like it ran quite a ways down the gully towards the lake. Ripped right to the ground on the NFL lots of rocks sticking their heads out
FORECASTER NOTE: This avalanche was triggered with explosives during avalanche mitigation from the rescue on Squaretop this am. Thank you for report this avalanche.
