Comments

Saw this avalanche in Cardiac Bowl, same time frame as the rest, the crown on the lookers left side of the bowl under the rocks was fairly large and clean looking, might have gone on facets formed last week. the middle of the bowl also had avalanched down both entry chutes at some time during the storm but the crown was not as clean.
