Mt. Ellis Avalnche

Mt. Ellis Avalnche

I triggered this avalanche from 75 feet away.  Widespread collapsing and cracking were Red Flags that the slopes were ripe for human triggered avalanches. We descended the SE Ridge to avoid steep slopes and still managed to remotely trigger this small slide. Photo: GNFAC
