I was really surprised to see this natural avalanche occur on such a low angle slope. It did not travel very far due to the low slope angle. This ridge line is considered fairly safe terrain when the hazard is elevated. It was very strange to see this slide break just off this mellow ridge line and not release the remainder of the slope above.
The slope angle is in the 30 degree range.
