Comments
Noticed a natural avalanche on the very steep slope at the top of the ridgeline above Moonlight. No photos. Likely a wind-loaded slope with cornices along the top of the ridgeline. Probably ran earlier this week as there was ~10 cms of new snow on top of the debris. Dimensions are estimates, but the slide broke into old snow with bushes and rocks visible in the bed surface.
