Comments
Winds have been ripping all day. Took the dog for a walk in Round Valley and saw an odd debris field on a small slope above the skate ski track. A closer look revealed the crown of what looks like a wind slab avalanche. No snowshoe or ski tracks around so I assume it went naturally last night or today.
