Came across this small glide Avalanche exiting Mill B. Looked fresh but not brand new, I am thinking 2/20 or the night of 2/19. Dimensions and slope angle are all approximate as half of the slope was still clinging to the rock surface, so poking around out there didn't seem prudent. Scale is hard to tell in the picture but the larger chunks of debris are washing-machine size. photo: Mary Mcintyre
