Comments
Noticed a natural avalanche this evening in the west porter fork area, 20ish foot wide chute around 38 degrees slid all the way across for around 200-300 feet. There were no ski tracks nearby so I assume it was a natural. I skied 2 other lines beforehand around the same area/slope angle/ aspect and only noticed fast slough and no other instability. Feeling lucky to have not been caught in this kind of slide
