Comments
Drew I'm just reporting this to make the list of large avalanches that occurred during the Jan. 10 storm complete.
I walked the Cabin Run ridge on Monday and saw this slide. The flank is clearly visible even now and the slide ran full track. Large.
I think if our forecast is accurate this will go down as a repeater.
So it looks like the whole east facing ridge ran from the near summit of G.K. all the way down to Depth Hoar Bowl. That is a big avalanche.
Post it if you want... or not.
