Avalanche only observed during fly over enroute to Ten Stone Mountain Lodge, so size estimates are based on the largest trees in that elevation band and region being about 30-40ft tall. As you can see in the photo, the slab pulled right to ground layer (though this is a very shallow snow pack), and ran into the terrain trap below.
