We saw two avalanches one in the picture I was sidehilling and the slop got steeper as I road along. I got off the hill as soon as I could.
The other we were on top of the hill on the flat before it rolled over. Looking to see if it was safe to ride down. As the second sled pulled up it broke below us. It was east facing and in total maybe 50 to 100 yards and ran out maybe 30 or 40 yards same area east of iron mine.
