This glide avalanche came off the rock slabs at the top skiers right side of Bonkers then ran down to the lower rock slabs and pulled the whole seasons snow pack out. The debris pile at the bottom was massive and rock hard and stood about 8 to10ft over my head. On its way down it carried rocks and trees that it uprooted from the bottom of the path. It also created a massive half-pipe in the middle of the debris pile where chunks of solid ice grooved out the path like a glacier.
