A good sized natural wet avalanche just above the popular First Dam park occurred sometime Friday (3-5-10) evening...

The fence low in the slide path will have to repaired as it was a couple years ago after a similar avalanche hit it a couple years ago...

The avalanche dumped a large pile of heavy wet debris on the slope just above the foot-bridge....
