Comments
Observed a natural avalanche at 1100 from what appeared to be a natural (guessing the trigger being a cornice failure or wind) release from the ridge line between Ha Ling Peak and Miner’s Peak. From distant observation (town) could identify at least three distinct slabs. Very strong wind observed high up. Also noticed significant sluffs coming down the steeper walls below Rundle #6 (NE). It appears that the bottom part of the debris may have reached the Highline Trail. Unsure of avalanche size but the powder cloud indicated a large avalanche.
