This nice slab avalanche occurred overnight or early in the morning of 1-24-10... Probably triggered by snowplow...

A much larger slope adjacent to this one just down canyon has a history of piling lots of snow on the road and has not yet released..

Large and scary cracks were visible on a slope adjacent to the avalanche...Lots more unstable snow left on these steep west facing slopes above the Scenic Byway
