Comments
I observed this avalanche from a distance and did not get a closer look. It looked to have been started by cornice fall the previous day or night and had stepped down into a deeper layer. I was quite a distance away but I would guess 1-2 feet deep initially and could have stepped down as deep as 3-4 feet.

I also saw this avalanche from afar on 2/8/2011 and took a couple photos....
