Comments
Record Ridge avalanche observed from Rossland (about 6km). Large crown visible in the area known as the Field Of Dreams. Suspect size 3 based on the fracture and the width (estimate close to a km). Guessing that it slid on the Dec 08/13 crust complex during the end of the storm cycle overnight.
