Comments
Natural avalanche on Cardiac Ridge Run that occurred near the end of the storm. Started as a storm/wind slab near the top. Looks like it may have stepped down into old snow in a few pockets in the middle of the slope. Didn't get close enough to know for sure. Debris ran across the flats and up and over the small hill at the bottom of the run.
