Comments
A large D2 wet avalanche recently ran in The Burn again. The most noteworthy part is that it ran nearly full track with debris stopping nearly in the bottom of Taylor Canyon. Many East Bench and foothills trails are beginning to dry out. While the Taylor's Canyon trail is not as popular as nearby Malan's Peak, it's a worthy reminder that there is still avalanche risk during warm weather in low elevation locations that would normally not be threatened.
No photo as I was driving when I spotted it.
