Avalanche

One of our guys went out to check activity in east vail chutes adjacent to our boundary and took some pictures of a large slide that was set off by a cornice fall of the Cathedral cornice. We call this area Generation X bowl. This is a massive cornice that forms every year. He estimated the fracture through the cornice at 25-30’ you can see it in photos. He called it a R3D3 in size ran to bottom of the bowl. South east facing starting 11,500 and ran near full track 730 vertical using google earth for these detailed items. Probably ran in the past two day as there is a little build up starting to show. No tracks near the cornice that were visible
