This natural avalanche likely occurred sometime yesterday.
This large natural avalanche may have occurred on Friday or Saturday of last week during the peak of the storm. It took out nearly half of the ridgeline and the deepest part of the crown looks to be over 3' deep? It is a northeast facing slope at around 11,000'. It traveled well over 600' vertical feet and ran to the flats below and down over into a natural gully. The photos do not do a good job of showing how large it is. Quite an eye opener!
