Avalanche

Like a few other avalanches around the Highway 91 corridor this avalanche mowed down quite a few trees. Although destructive it largely stayed in it's defined path. It took out trees that had grown in the path over the last ~30 to ~50 years but didn't significantly widen the trim lines. From what I can tell only about 3/4 of the start zone released. Crowns have filled in significantly in the last 10 days so this is hard to say for sure. See photos for more detail.---The avalanche ob listed below is from an avalanche off of Buckeye Peak that likely occurred around March 13, 2019
