Avalanche

Natural slide which I think went out late yesterday afternoon or early in the evening as the crown had filled partially filled back in when we saw it this morning. This is a slide in the backcountry outside the Vail ski area boundary. N-HSR2D2, the crown was 3-4 feet high and 200’ across. We were able to ski down onto the debris near the top of the track and it looked to see that it ran full track which is about 400’-450’ of vertical fall, Northeast aspect at 11,400’.
