Comments
I think I saw this avalanche already posted in mineral, but got a few better photos of it. There was a skinner going up the ridge, so it's possible this was remotely triggered.
A bit hard to tell with all the trees in the way of the photo, but the crown went quite far down following the ridge. The slide likely propagated ~400ft vertical (based this off a topo map where I noticed the debris pile at the bottom).
