Comments
This is my best guess of the location, dimensions, and size of this avalanche we were able to spot from a distance. This was the only fresh avalanche in Mineral Fork, Mill B South & Broads Fork that we could see in our travels today. This looked like a serious piece of snow and likely ran a long distance downhill. It was likely heavily wind-loaded by the constant southerly winds from the past few days.
