Comments
We saw a avalanche off the top of Rohr ridge. The crown was located below the ridge where started into one of the upper bowls. The slab was well supported by lower angle terrain. 30 degrees at the crown and 15 degrees in the bowl below. 1 meter crown down to December facets. 50 meters wide. Please be extra careful!
