Comments
Got a message and photo via Facebook of a snowmobile triggered avalanche in the Richards Hollow Area. Most likely failing on facets.
"We triggered a pretty Large slide today up Providence Canyon. Was about 200 yards wide and 200 yards tall and 3 feet deep. It slid over 100 yards past the bottom of the hill and took out lots of small trees and brush leaving a debris trail."
