Lionhead Ridge Avalanche Panorama

Lionhead Ridge Avalanche Panorama

We triggered this avalanche from a cornice drop.  It propagated about 600 feet wide.  It broke on the thick layer of facets underneath the wind-loaded snow.  We also triggered three more along the ridge: one from a cornice drop, one from a collapes and another remotely.  Photo: GNFAC
