Comments
Saw this slide through my spotting scope this morning. This is just above the Second Hamongog. Heaven's Halfpipe is generally considered low risk 28-30 degrees. Looks like this failed on a rollover. A couple of months ago there was a similar slide in HH on a rollover to the east of this one.
From this distance it's hard to know the scale of this avalanche. But it's something to take into consideration with careful route finding even in a supposedly safe zone.
