Comments
We went for a ridge walk during the elevated danger. We saw this avalanche on a steep north aspect. Along with this slide, there were cracks propagating approximately 150 feet to the right side of the crown. As we walked the ridgeline towards this avalanche we had a significant collapse along the ridge.
