This avalanche happened a few days before yesterdays storm. It had fresh snow on top. I could see the slide for atleast 500-600 feet. It fully covered the road and is 40-50 feet high at the highest point on the road. Completely cleared the whole path of any trees and there were multiple trees 2-3 feet in diameter on either side of the path. I couldn't see the starting line without skinning up further. There was another avalanche just slightly smaller a half mile down the road.
