Comments
Next door to the red pine avalanche from a few days ago. Lower on the ridge where it rounds to NE. I likely just missed it when I was up on the 6th. Better light today. This one also was partially covered by recent wind blown snow. Not as deep as the former. Slab popped out higher on the ridge and then another along its path looked to have released sympathetically.
