We found a recent natural avalanche, and found consolidated storm and wind transported snow and mid elevations. With significant wind transit occurring at ridge tops and above tree line.

Avalanche

A d.5 that seemed to have been a natural trigger off the cliff face. It appears to run into a previous bed surface that elongated the 50 yard run.
