Comments
point release to a drop down avalanche. dimensions are a guess there were a few in this area but this one was the biggest.
upon leaving got word of a sizable avy in cardiac ridge which was scary because I saw 5 on skinner. room of doom slide was quite wide....
with the latest snow, it is impossible to see crowns, fractures , debris ramps, etc from previous avalanches this year. many/ most avalanches went unreported or under reported.
