Comments
We traveled up to Mount Raymond early this morning and were welcomed by lots of avalanche carnage and debris from multiple slides off the southern slopes of Gobblers Knob into Mill A.
Sections of aspen groves had been cleared out and plenty of pines were snapped in half. The White Snake slide had run full path and up an incline 20 feet where it still traveled down and across the main Mill A gully. These massive wet slides were bordering on D4 - not ones I'd like to trifle with.
