Avalanche

The crown was about 2 feet deep and 250 feet wide propagating through trees. There were some refrigerator-sized blocks that barely slid but most of the slope slid to near bare ground. This slope had been skied multiple times by multiple parties prior to the last two storms. North aspect, <TL, estimated D2 R2.
