Ran across this large avalanche in upper Alexander Basin walking the ridge separating Alexander and upper Buttler Basin. Looks to have occurred late Saturday or Sunday morning. The crown looked to be 4 to 5ft deep , unsure of how wide and it ran a thousand feet with debris way out on the flats. Looks to have run on the PWL towards the bottom of the pack.
