Avalanche Problem #1
Problem #1 Comments
Noticed a very large natural (unless the heli shot it down) in Barrieto. Slide was not there at 11:40 and noticed when regaining the ridge about an hour later. Unfortunately battery died so no pics. Went wall too wall full track to the canyon bottom and down a bit from there.
