Comments
Observed this avalanche in our travels today. It looks like a pretty large avalanche, and it ran downhill into the flats for roughly 1000' vertical. It looks like the upper avalanches failed and then likely triggered the third avalanche under the cliff band (of course this is speculation).
The picture was taken from a distance.
