Comments
This is an addendum to this prior observation for the Bailey's avalanche ca. 20250202. Please consolidate as desired.
This was actually 2 separate avalanches in Bailey's proper. The skier's left side slid (picture 1 below) as a short D1. The skier's right side went as a longer D2, approx 250ft vertical (picture 2).
