This path is one of the usual suspects and crosses the Pleasant Creek road about every other year. It was a result of numerous recent snow storms and very strong wind the morning of Feb 15. This was a fairly large avalanche for this path but I've certainly seen it come out larger. You'll note that the two other large paths to the west (right) also released naturally and could've crossed the road. I couldn't confirm this from my position.
