Comments
This avalanche was estimated to have released on Dec 22nd during a strong northwest wind event. The debris was still quite fresh which gave me a good idea of the timing of the slide.
Comments
It's unknown whether this released as a result of a cornice fall or just an overloaded slope from the wind. One thing is certain is that it did involve the November faceted layer.
