Comments
1) Looks like this repeat offender slid again this year. Much further down the start zone than the avalanche back in November- but due to the seasonal history- guess this is a thin weak snowpack and repeat runner. Its interesting that it didn't fail higher up in the start zone, rather in the steep rollover. Low confidence in how far it ran- but seems to be fresh debris, similar to the late Nov. run out extent.
2) Get the goods while its good...
3) Is that mount "Tuck???"
