Comments
Observed 20231229. Likely ran natrually during the avalanche cycle on and around the 3rd. A faint crown line could be seen the width of the photo with two skiers, though it is tough to make out in the photo itself. A probe depth in the debris shows an HS of 245cm. Adjacent to the debris HS was 130-140, while mid path the HS was 60cm.
