Dimensions are estimated, looks to have occurred yesterday probably during the high PI rates in the afternoon, bed surface looked pretty fresh. It already avalanched during the Christmas cycle and had most likely faceted out with a thin snow pack and rocky bed surface. I'm assuming it ran on facets formed during last weeks high pressure.
