Avalanche in N Bridgers

Avalanche in N Bridgers

This avalanche fractured through the rocks in the upper part of this photo propagating nearly a quarter mile across.  It created debris 20ft deep.  It also broke on deeply buried weak layers like the avalanche on Saddle.  These large avalanches are very destructive, and this one snapped large trees in half like the one in the photo.
