Comments
We came upon this avalanche while walking the ridge. It looked like a party earlier in the day intentionally knocked down the cornice. This triggered an avalanche that propagated north to the adjacent cliffs and ran full track to the flats. There was a pretty sizable debris pile against a tree about mid-slope.
