Interesting avalanche above and into the main gully of Silver Fork. I was unable to spend time to evaluate failure interfaces. This is a funky spot that is always on my mind as a real problem area when traveling through Silver Fork during periods of elevated hazard, and this is the first time I've actually ever seen a slide.
