Comments
Size D1.5 Loose Dry avalanche on the east-facing slope of Mount Tuscarora. My best guess is that the avalanche occurred overnight during heavy snowfall. The debris pile looked to have a few inches of snow covering it. We noticed 3 or 4 other small D1 Loose-dry avalanches in the area from Rocky Point to Mt. Millicent.
