Quick report

A party of XC skiers reported seeing “a medium to large natural avalanche” on the north aspect above the end of Dickey road. They described a large powder cloud so I assume dry snow was involved. Unclear if the debris reached the road as the party ran away. They were unsure of starting elevation but thought it ran a long way.

2nd hand report of powder cloud running into South Dickey Creek. Cannot accurately determine size or type of avalanche from report. Most debris piles seen on 3/14 in Paola Creek and Tunnel Creek were size D1.5 to D2 Loose Dry.
