Cardiac ridge, and Cardiac bowl, Natural avalanche encompassing cardiac ridge, Hansens, and cardiac bowl. I am assuming it ran all at the same time by the looks of it . May have occurred during the intense snowfall on Wednesday, or Wednesday night, but not positive about the timing. Large avalanche running full track. Photo is of the ridge portion of the slide. Large crown can be seen left side in the shade.
