Very large wet slab avalanche photographed by backcountry skier several days after the avalanche. This likely occurred during the later stages of the prior week's atmospheric river, 3/18-20. The crown appears to be several feet deep. The aspect and elevation are unkown- on either the north or east side of the mountain, and likely about 6000ft. The nearby Decline Creek Snotel site recorded 7"SWE, mostly falling as snow from March 9-16. From March 16-20th, 5" of rain fell.
