Comments
I did not witness avalanche, took pics a couple of days after it happened. Avalanche travelled down ravine gathering speed and growing in size. Travelled through the zones and quite a ways into a green ( safe zone ) area. 20 ft deep on road and 150 ft wide. This is my first attempt at writing a report, be gentle.
