Comments
A longtime local skier reported evidence of a large and destructive natural avalanche in the popular Dog Leg Trees Area... "Like none I've even seen in that area" It's just one of many natural avalanches in the Providence Canyon Area last week.
Actually, a couple impressive avalanches (or lobes) completely overrunning the popular ascent route. (TW)
