Although located outside of our advisory area, this avalanche illustrates how wet avalanches can be destructuive even on small slopes. The email with the picture states "I ran into a fresh slide yesterday afternoon in the southern end for the Tobacco Roots that I though was worth sharing. The slide occurred on the SW slope (225) at ~ 7500' on a frequently used snowmobile trail. It was surprising the see the result of a small slope/ path but full depth slide cover the trail with at least 8' of debris including small trees." Photo: W. Harden
