Comments
Encountered a decent sized natural avalanche on the way up West Porter today. The debris buried a small section of the skin track. The weather abruptly got much stormier with intense graupel. In doing a quick hand pit or two, we were unable to isolate a column so we didn't go to take a look at the crown to see where it started and the depth of the crown.
