Comments
A small natural wet avalanche started just below homes at about 4800' in elevation and ran down to the back of the Water Lab. More natural or human triggered avalanches will be likely on this and other similar steep snow covered slopes as temperatures rise this weekend.
Just like roof avalanches, wet avalanches on steep slopes at very low elevations in the urban environment may threaten children, pets, and animals.
