I could see this HUGE fresh looking natural avalanche from Richmond this evening (2-19-2010)...It's on an upper elevation west to northwest facing slope way up in the Mount Naomi Wilderness....
Don't know when the avalanche released, as today is the first clearing in a few days...Could have even been today, or a recent similar day, with sudden solar warming/green-housing in early afternoon....Initial warming by exposure to direct sun after several days with cloud cover?
Another dragon on a west facing slope!
