Comments
Massive slide on Cornice Ridge sometime in the last few days. Spotted from Beaver Mountain summit, grabbed a photo with a friend's binoculars. Several separate slopes involved, looked on maps to be easily 2000 feet wide. Likely 2 feet deep based on the amount of new snow we saw at beginner bowl over the first half of the weekend.
This avalanche was also reported yesterday by Nick Benoit and Matt Barry as seen in the morning from Beaver Mt. ( https://utahavalanchecenter.org/avalanche/79948)
