Saw this natural avalanche off east facing Kessler on my way out of Cardiff today, looks to have pulled out way up in the top portion of Kessler and ran full track kissing the summer road with debris. Looks to have avalanched yesterday during the strong wind event. This path is two slide paths south of the Catchers Mit. Also noted another smaller slide in the next path over. Photos
