A small natural wet avalanche piled up on the River Trail. Wet avalanches are possible on lower elevation slopes in places where they may not be expected, like where you might take your dag for a walk or go for a run. These are most likely when temperatures warm up or it rains and the saturated snow becomes loose and unstable.
