Hadn't seen this one posted and it seemed notable. Guessing this ran during the New Years storm, possibly on the 1st. While the vertical of the steeper slopes is only 2-500', the horizontal of the avalanche is >1000' and possibly 2k'. Hard to tell from my vantage and with the new storm on top, but it appears to continue far down the ridge.
