Comments
This was one of the more significant natural avalanches that occurred during a "pockety" natural cycle. No question this broke into old weak faceted snow from October.
Comments
Wind drifted snow on the debris is a good indicator of the timing of this avalanche. In otherwords, it released a few days before we found it.
