Comments
Witnessed the avalanche--it ran right next to me as I was sitting on the ridge. The south flank of the avalanche was ~4 feet from the ridge. Triggered by a snowboarder taking the first run on the slope. I have a video of the aftermath but the video field doesn't support a Google drive link.
