Comments

Some of the numbers here are estimates. Timing is unknown, but likely overnight Sunday into Monday. This is based upon the wind event from Sunday - and the slabs look mostly clean. Amazing how the glide avalanches run. This one ran PRIOR to Monday's skyrocketing temperatures. Might get more interesting in Broads, Mill B South, and Stairs over the next couple of days.
