Saw this avalanche on Cardiac Ridge today, looked like it happened midday yesterday during the intense wind loading event. The debris piles stopped about 3/4 of the way down the slope, I think if happened before this it would not be visible anymore, there were also visible crowns up in the top of the upper entry chutes.
photos were tough seeing the light was so flat but if you look closely you can see one of the crowns in the middle chute
