All sizes are estimates from decently far away. Presumed natural during the high PI rates from yesterdays storm and the entire path appears to have ripped out.

Crowns ranged from 1'-3' deep and extended 1000' plus wide down the entirety of Chicken Shit Ridge. Never could see the entire path but imagine it could be wider than observed connecting into the more easterly components. Also did not travel far enough up the drainage to see the full runout but imagine due to the avalanche size that it ran pretty far downhill.
