Comments
South Monitor cornice flexing today. We got up with just enough sunshine to see this avalanche around 5:30pm. I assume it ran naturally during the heavy snowfall and wind today. It looked to be triggered from a cornice fall with some decent sized blocks in the run out. Almost ran full track but we couldn't get to a position to see up to the crown. Dimensions are estimates but maybe 100+ feet wide, unsure on depth.
