Came upon this glide avalanche in Broads Fork today. Appears to have slid sometime overnight or early this morning. Many large cohesive blocks littered the debris fan that ran over 1000 feet from the upper slabs. We ventured up in to the apron to get a closer look at some of the blocks. Impressive and humbling to say the least
