Comments
Avalanche was observed in Days Draw. Trigger unknown but I'm assuming it was natural during the last storm cycle as the debris was covered in new snow. Ranging from 1-2' deep, possibly deeper but it had been partially refilled with the new snow. The avalanche ran 1,200' almost to the bottom of the path.
Debris was also noted in the Banana Belt zone but without any noticeable crowns.
