Comments

This avalanche was also reported to us by riders at the Tony Grove TH. Apparently an impressive avalanche, reported as 1-3' deep and a couple hundred feet wide. They also reported fresh sled tracks in the area.

I'm hoping for a report from triggering party. Remember, the information you provide may help save lives, and you can report avalanches confidentially. We don't need to post or even know your name.

And, here it is: 2/5/15, "1 Large avalanche triggered by snowmobile noise and 1 triggered by riding wednesday 2/4/15 in the white pine lake area around tony grove. The actual gps location is N 41 54.990 W 111 39.052. Both at the base of the exposed rocky mountain surface. No injuries or damage."​
