Avalanche

The natural avalanches in the Snow Spur NW area had little to no snow on the ground prior to the storm. The start zone elevation is 10,040'. The activity occurred a third of the way down the slope. The pockets released in the White Lizard were near the bottom of the path, and the most north-facing one had deeper coverage before the storm. Similar elevation band of 10,100'.
