Hyalite Avalanche 1/3

Hyalite Avalanche 1/3

The slide broke on facets near the ground. Skiers kicked off a cornice on the ridge which avalanched the slope. It looks to be 3-5 feet deep.  Many potential trigger points can be seen as this slide uncovered previously buried rocks where the snowpack was thinner. Photo: Wykoff
