Comments
Eric Flygare observed this cornice-triggered wind slab avalanche Monday 2/26 in the a.m.. We have no idea when the avalanche happened, but it may have occurred 2/25 in the evening or overnight as strong winds moved snow into upper-elevation starting zones and built out cornices.

Actually, one bowl north of northern Shumway.... The drianage above Cold Water "Lake"
