This avalanche was first observed last Friday afternoon (1/16) during the clearing immediately following the most intense period of precipitation during last week's storm. Thanks to the FS trails crew (Matt Sturgess and Lisa Featherly) for getting this photo while maintaining the motorized trails on the south end of Turnagain Pass today.
