My partner and I hiked/snowshoed the Broads Fork trail Monday morning. There were several large avalanches visible from Robinsons up trail through the easterly facing slopes of Twin Peaks. The avalanche on Robinsons was essentially full-track and looks to have ran about 1,800 vertical feet. The snow at the terminus was up to 10+ feet deep. There was debris entrained throughout the lower third. Definitely a large and destructive avy.
