Northern San Juan

Avalanche

Close up of 2 recent avalanches from the past cycle on 2/15, based on the evidence that the debris and bed surface is covered in 15-20cms of new snow. WNW aspect, at tree line on steep wind loaded terrain feature. HS-N-R3-D2-G Ran on basal depth hoar most likely from wind loading and cornice failure. Assuming that one slide remote / sympathetic triggered the other. See pics attached
