Recent large avalanche on Lionhead

Recent large avalanche on Lionhead

This photo was taken from on top of one large debris pile from an avalanche that occurred late last week (about Feb 20). Both avalanches broke about 4-5 feet deep on facets that formed in early December. We have not seen avalanches on this layer lately, but these are a major clue that others could occur. Photo: GNFAC
