Most of the Wood Camp Bowls naturally avalanched and ran down four drainages into the main avalanche path. We counted 9 huge avalanches, (or perhaps one big one involving all at once and joining in the main avalanche path), estimated 2' to 4' to perhaps 6+ ' deep and 600'--->1200' wide...

The alpha angle (from crown to toe) of this long running avalanche was around 18°
