Comments

Saw this slide from across White Pine. Unknown depth/width/vertical but pretty big - multiple crown lines across the entire N/NE aspect of Lake Peak. Lots of wind-loading evident across the entire upper pink pine ridge and white baldy basin.

Forecaster Note: This was most likely from the most recent natural avalanche cycle. Many similar crowns are being seen in the wasatch from this event.
