Avalanche is one of the few repeat runners in an overall relatively inactive season. Path has run on or around Nov 21, Dec 27, and Jan 21. May have been started by a loose sluff from above and is a triggered wind slab under the cliffs. The weak layer is likely facets that have formed near the rocks in this shallow, repeat running slide path.
