We noticed this natural wet avalanche on Wednesday April 20.... I took the photos in the afternoon of April 22... Good sized wet avalanche likely ran during wet snow and rain event on April 18, WL-N-r2d2.... There was similar activity in many other paths in the Wellsvilles from the same time-frame...
