Natural slide on skiers right. Ran full track ~2000' with significant debris pile. The slide was powerful enough to snap small aspens at the toe of the slide. HH is typically known as a low angle run, but with high angle slopes on each side large avalanches are still possible on "safe" runs (read: west porter).

WSW Facing bighorn also slide just below the cliff, but total runout length was difficult to discern (anywhere between 300-1000'). Width is unknown.
