Comments
Perhaps an outlier, but noteworthy none-the-less. This pockety, yet meaty slab was triggered yesterday by cornice fall, on a very steep, northeast facing slope at 10,400' in Upper Humpy Basin. Breaking 4' deep x 100' wide and failing on the early February facet/dust layer, this avalanche was packing heat and could've easily ruined your day as it fanned out onto the slope below.
