Avalanche

Avalanches: Explosive triggered another large hard slab failing near the ground on a southwest aspect near treeline. The crown was 2 to 4 feet thick, failing on basal facets. HS-AB-R3-D2.5-O/G. See video. Also a noted a handful of smaller slabs in the Ruby Range that likely ran a few days ago during the wind loading event. They were relatively shallow slabs that broke in very steep, rocky terrain on easterly aspects above treeline (D1.5), likely on old layers as well.
