Traveling up to Silver Fork via Grizzly Gulch went to have a look at the large explosive triggered slide off south facing Davenport hill. Appeared to have run under the fragile rime crust from 2 weeks ago. Large avalanche running full track and creating a large debris pile in the gully bottom. Also seemed to sympathetic out few outlying pockets on its way down. Pics are crown, whole slide, pockets with stress fractures above and debris pile.
Cowboy checking out the crown, pretty warm today, meltwater was seeping out of the crown, and the bed surface was quite damp.
