Avalanche
SE ridge of Peak 10. Estimate it ran during the recent storm cycle Wednesday night/Thursday. Long crown, almost a half mile scaled off USGS topo. Crown wrapped from a NE aspect around to a SE aspect generally at 11,800 feet and lower. This avalanche ran wider than first reported. Crown may be close to 1/2 mile wide. The higher and deeper portions of the crown had drifted in, but where the wind had not drifted yet crowns looked 2-3’ deep. Could not see how far down slope SE path ran but some portions of the NE ran ~400 vertical.
