Avalanche

The entire southeast face of Mt Trelease slid, mostly to the ground. Largest Crown heights were approx. 15'. The debris went down past the top of the bench, and covered the area where people often set skin tracks and ski. Fortunately, the slide happened overnight or early, before any skiers got there. I estimate it was a D3, R4 avalanche. Trees were broken.
