A popular roadside attraction, Wolf Creek Bowl is an easy grab from the road, but is a dangerous piece of real estate.
This slide was initiated from a small piece of cornice dribbling onto the slope below and that was enough additional weight to tip the scales.
Not a particularly large avalanche, but the consequences at the bottom will instantly ruin your day.
