Comments
Another angle on the deep slab avalanche off the northwest side of Red Baldy into White Pine.
Here is a photo of the large avalanche off the east facing slope above Red Pine Lake. I took this photo from the ridgeline between Red Pine and White Pine. I agree from the looks of both of these avalanches that they probably occurred early on Saturday March 1st or perhaps late Friday night with the howling wind, high freezing levels and high precipitation rate.
