Vail & Summit County

Avalanche

This is just outside of Blue Sky boundary behind Belle’s camp restaurant, I call it Bell’s Camp Backyard. South aspect, 11,300 ft elevation. SS-AS-R1D1.5, It ran full track about 300 vertical not measured with 1-2’ crown. Weak layer was the surface hoar sitting on a 5cm sun crust. The guys went out to take a look at it and it released on high traverse of the slope. The other tracks are other patrollers taking a look later in the afternoon. This slopes runs at least a couple times each year.
