Avalanche

Elizabeth path, likely ran on 3/9: 30º40.237', -105º47.504' (road), SS-N-R4/D3-O 12,000' (top) 11,140' (road) 860' (vertical) Aspect: NE. FxL depth: 6-8' (estimate) Debris: CL 400' x 20' (up to 20' estimate). What is remarkable is the fracture line extends north. Unsure if the same avalanche or separate avalanches released into and removed much thick, mature timber to the north (looker's right) of the Elizabeth slide. Compare with the 2013 photo below.
