Notes from Nielsen:
The sky cleared out around 2pm just enough to get a look at the meadow chutes area of Silver Fork, I could see the crown of a large avalanche. I estimate it was 1000-1200 feet wide. Unknown depth, how far it ran, or the trigger. I could not see tracks leading into the avalanche. There were tracks north of the avalanche, closer to Brad's line. I could also see a smaller avalanche in Ricardo's roll, but photos were hard to get of the smaller slide. Photo 1-Pavlantos
