Quick Observation
Drinking my morning coffee at home and noticed a very long, large avy running out the King Louie drainage. The end of debris field is nearly the same elevation as the top switchback on the road, and the start zone looks to be a decent sized slab through the last thin rock band. Can't be sure what triggered it, but the high winds could have knocked something down and caught that reactive top layer forming. Estimated size 2.5-3 with a 400-500m+ runout. Likely failed on the March 5th layer, saw a similar size 1.5+ in passby on Monday at similar elevation. It's going to make for a heinous ski out of there if anyone tries that line this spring!
