While hiking/snowshoeing below Lake Blanche I noticed this wet release avalanche. The avalanche wasn't large and appeared to be mostly new snow from the previous storm. I recalled that this small avalanche location was just above the very large and destructive slide path that occurred last year on 04/19/11. I've listed the link below for the archived information from last year. http://utahavalanchecenter.org/avalanche_mill_b_south_fork_near_lake_bla... I visited this location one month later on 05/16/11 and found the slide to be virtually the same as reported on 04/19/11. The slide was still upwards of 20 feet deep in spots. Amazingly large and destructive slide (see pictures).
