Wall of Voodoo part of Square Top Canyons Backcountry is the first set of photos. Yesterday's Cinder Chutes photos belong in the second set.
I just wanted to submit some photos of Square Top's Wall of Voodoo and the Cinder Chute avalanche which occurred 12/27/2012. I don't know when the Wall of Voodoo released but I suspecte today. Square Top had numerous tracks, and on my exit several people were getting ready to ski it again despite the avalanche. I apologize for the photos but they were taken around 3 pm after the sun had started West. I had to give the photos a little of the Jimi Hendrix Experience in order to get some contrast. Maybe tomorrow someone will get some much better photos of both avalanches. When the sun came out along the Park City Ridge LIne you could see close and distant almost all aspects of all the peaks were being skied regardless of the avalanche warnings.
