Comments
Had a quick break in the storm and got eyes on this bad boy in the Fish Bowl from the Red Tree Ridge. Evidence of a slab (60cm-ish) propogating underneath the cornice across the entire headwall, propogation terminating at the cement mixer. The avalanche pulled secondary slabs through the track. Unfortunately it socked back in and my photos from the field look like garbage. Enjoy this overlay instead (PC: R. Siggers). Rough measurements pulled from Caltopo. Estimate the avalanche occurred sometime on Saturday, Feb 1st.
