Comments
Two pockets seen on N facing Rocky Point. These are repeaters. FORECASTER NOTE: It appears these pockets were triggered by skiers on top of the slope. It sounds as if this sympathetically triggered another massive avalanche on Sunset Peak which is just adjacent and to the east of Rocky Point.
