The W/NW side of the cirque blew out sometime last week(month?), probably with the rapid warming. We couldn't see the start zone from down low and didn't see this from up high. Was a big, long slide.
Comments
Forecaster's comments: Thanks for the observation. Your info is much appreciated. This avalanche likely occurred last weekend, during the exteremly warm and moist weather. It was one of numerous natural avalanches in a very widespread natural cycle across the Logan Zone that included avalanches on slopes at all elevations and slopes facing every direction. Observers' reported and submitted a photo of an avalanche in Logan Peak Cirque on 2-17-2014....... HERE
