Lionhead Ridge Avalanche

Lionhead Ridge Avalanche

This avalanche was noticed yesterday (Sat, 12/29) on an east facing slope of Lionhead Ridge.  A cornice likely triggered the slope.  It was shallow and steep and the fracture did not propagate far.  Large cornice chunks were still visible in the debris.  Photo: GNFAC
