Swung through Tibble Fork on my way to Pine Hollow to have a look around from the parking lot. Truck temp gauge dropped to 0F. No scouts camped out last night, but the ice fisherman were out early. Saw this natural avalanche of what some maps refer to as SE Box Elder Peak (?). East facing aspect clearly another monster slide that ran a couple days ago due to increase water weight and strong winds overloading the PWL. What seems to be different about this slide than others our party noted on Timp, is that it the bed surface appears to have a bit more earth showing through. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these slopes repeat throughout the season.
