Comments
With clearing this morning after several days of poor visibility, I could see this nice recent natural persistent deep or wet slab avalanche in the Wellsville Mountain Wilderness from Cache Valley. Not sure about when it occurred but the crown looks pretty fresh.... My theory is late in Thursday's warm and rainy storm, perhaps the morning of 3/24
