Avalanche

Wet snow avalanche - ran to ground and hit a portion of the highway, note in photo there is small vegation in the debris pile so potentially greater than the listed size 1.5. Multiple wet snow avalanches/point releases in the Pine Pass on steep southerly slopes in the Alpine of Murray Range (size 1 to 1.5) and more frequent wet avalanches on gentler angled terrain at lower elevation bands due to extreme warm temps (+ 10 degrees at 1700MST in Pass)
