The Manti Skyline went through a natural avalanche cycle during the last storm and following warm up. Many natural avalanches occurred during the storm on Thursday, March 1. Many also released during the significant warm up on Sunday, March 4. It appears that all of them involved the weak facets from early in the season as well as a layer that formed in early February.
This avalanche most likely ran during the storm.
Notice how these broke at the convex roll where the slope gets steeper.
These avalanches didn't look that impressive from a distance but were obviously deadly once we got close to them.
