Deer creek canyon trail head to Box Elder cool and over cast, windy, NE winds on top of ridge, a bit of green-housing on lower elevations. East Ridge of Box Elder Peak, Cornice break causing avalanche. Crown around 20-24 inches, about 100ft wide and ran about 1000 vertical feet down a gully. It looked like snow broke just under the dirt layer from last big wind storm on Tuesday.
