As the clouds lifted midday yesterday, we could see this large natural avalanche in Upper Steep Hollow, just south of Double Top Mountain
Comments
A good example of the danger lingering on slopes that didn't recently slide... Note the older crowns on either side of the fresh one pictured here...Last week we noticed lots of sled tracks in the area under where this natural avalanche occurred.
