Comments
I could see evidence of several good sized natural avalanches from yesterday above Maple Bench..... This broad crown is at the top of Hell Canyon on an east facing slope up at around 8500' in elevation.....
Comments
It is likely that many of these slides are repeaters, like this one in Old Logway, which probably occurred yesterday midday.... The fresh debris overran the pile and deposition gully from the last large natural (12-29-2010), but did not run quite as far........
