Comments
No pontificating on general conditions as its been discussed thoroughly in all other observations.
Red Pine Lake Shot at 10,700'. Northeast facing. This avalanche likely occurred during the height of precip of last week's storm on Nov. 9. Timing seems consistent with other events during that cycle.

Coverage is amazing for mid November. It's a real treat to be able to move around confidently in this terrain on skis this early in the season.
