Comments
Very large wind-loaded slab with prominent crown that prologated toward Small Pass and wrapped around toward the east facing ridge above Maybird Apron. Width of the avalanche is 1000's of feet and it slid for approximately 500 feet. Photo was taken from The Church and does not capture the entire width. Not exactly sure when this happened but the debris pile looked fresh and was not previously reported. Photo was taken at 10 am.
