Additionally posting this avalanche we observed from the trail to the south of Cutler Ridge closer to Bailey Springs area. This slide was more out of the wind zone at a lower elevation than the slides observed on the headwall. Aspect and slope angle of this slide represents the upper portion of the cutler ridge trail to gain the saddle.
