Around 13h45 we heard a big avalanche going down. We skied the ursus trees, kept it mellow and nice. On our way back to the parking lot, we saw the debris of a size 4 avalanche in grizzly path. It went all the way down and up the other side of Balu pass. Some people have seen it go down in teddy bear, it was loud and did transport alot of trees and debris. The day was stormy and cold, with alot of wind and snow transport. Slabs and wumfing were noted on our way up.
