Saw the results of a large avalanche on the east slopes of Big Horn peak. No idea when the avalanche actually happened, but probably from the last big snow storm the previous week?

The photo shows quite a large crown that is quite large running almost the entire length of the ridge.

I don't know how deep it was, nor how wide it was.
