Comments
Most people don't like avalanches but this one gave us a safe up and removed the overhead hazard that's always on your mind in this terrain. Not sure about Depth of crown or width because it originated way up high on the rock slabs under the E Twin. It ran down the gut of the DB leaving a large debris pile running quite a ways down the main DB slope. Looked like the timing was yesterday seeing it only had a little dusting on the debris. there was also a large slab avalanche in Bonkers on the rocky zone to the N of Bonkers
