Comments
Saw this natural avalanche in the corner skiers right side of South Monitor Bowl. Looked to be cornice triggered. I took a photo of a large overhanging cornice yesterday and put in my observation and this morning the cornice was gone and there was a 1.5-2ft crown where it calved off and hit the slope, running into the trees and beyond.
