Comments
Someone I know triggered this avalanche (I'm guessing unintentionally based on video?) on Lake Chute last Sunday.. He just put it up on IG, noticed he didn't report it so I figured I'd put it up. Same day as Toledo and Sunset, albeit not as consequential. He skied out of it to the side of the shot.
Size is estimated from video.
This goes out to anyone reading, If you are going to put videos of your avalanches on social media, please also put them on this Database so others in the area have more info in order to help with decision making .
Thanks <3
