Came down sometime on the night of March 22. Probably one of the biggest Avy's I have ever seen. I have photos on camera but no time to post them. The crown is ridiculously large. Would hate to think that other slopes can go this big. Look like it failed on the rain layer, probably 8-9 feet of snow loaded on top of it on this slope, more in spots for sure. Worth heading in and checking it out.
