Avalanche

Observed the results of a natural cornice triggered size 2 avalanche that released on a deep layer, likely basal facets, that ran full path. The fracture line was obscured by some recent wind loading but it was definitely a deep release because there was a lot of vegetation visible on the bed surface.
