Inspired Summit Adventures business owner, guide, snow-pro, and most importantly mom-extraordinaire, Shaun Raskin, reports a natural avalanche yesterday on an ESE facing slope near Castle Peak. It looks like the 18" deep x 200' wide storm slab broke as the snow got warm and the slab became more connected with yesterdays strong sunshine and daytime heating.
