Amazing riding on grizzly shoulder! Deep and fluffy pow 🤗 We witnessed one big avalanche on Cheops. See notes.

Avalanche

We observed an avalanche on the slope adjacent to the shelf on Cheops. The whole face went down in a dramatic powder cloud. It's hard to estimate the size without seeing the deposit or the slab thickness, but I presume somewhere between a 2.5 or 3 given the size of the slope and the huge cloud it produced.
