Saw this glide avalanche from across the way. We did not notice it on our first lap, but on the second lap skinner, my friend thought he heard a rumble. We had a brief window of visibility and both my partners confirmed they saw debris in the runout of Super Coulie. It was difficult to tell because of poor visibility, but it seems like the upper portion of Super Coulie may have also avalanched.
