Avalanche

Witnessed a small size 1 sliding over the first pitch of Pilsner Piller today. Using binoculars was able to back track and saw that the slide had originated near the top of Mt.Dennis and was still sluffing down the whole way. Varied in volume over the 10mins observed, from fairly negligible to enough to threaten a postage stamp. Noted for it's consistency and but was only entertaining surface snow. Weather at the time on emerald lake road was -4C with light winds out of the SW.
