Comments
Avery spotted a wet avalanche that likely occurred yesterday (2/11/02) along Providence Canyon road. Visibility was poor so it's difficult to say how far it slid, but judging by the debris pile and slope characteristics I'm guessing about a hundred feet or so. We noticed a number of snowmobile tracks on similar slopes and aspects and I'm guessing that, though this slide wouldn't bury you, it would defiantly be enough to knock an unaware rider off a sled.
