Comments
Remotely triggered on 20241228. At the time, noted a large collapse, but our party did not realize this avalanche had occurred (and we did not travel near it on our way out). HS of 200cm to the ground, but much thinner (100-150cm) at rocks. Crown was about 70cm at maximum, wind-loaded snow failing on storm interface, similar to the other avalanches that occurred on 20241228.
