Avalanche

Drainage between Caves Trail Head and Walrod: E/NE Aspect Fresh: SS-N-R2-D2. Starting zoe below the aspen groves. Some dirt shows in the scarp. Couldn't see debris pile due to my location on the road. Did observe two drainages full of debris below the slide. Close to the Cement Creek C.G. on the north side of road but no risk to the road and off of cliff bands: Appears to have occurred earlier in storm cycle as its' filled in. SS-N-R0.5-D0.5 with sympathetic release with same size belown.
