This avalanche crown was from the birthday chutes area and was located on north ridge of White Baldy between glacier bowl and lake chute. We are unsure when the avalanche occurred or what the crown height and length actually are, but our group felt that the crown looked strikingly large. We guess it is at least "overhead" height.
