Comments
Glide avalanche - regular performer due to the ground surface being smooth granite slabs. Nasty runout into big trees.
It's a good idea to avoid the rock slabs when riding in the Coquihalla zone, especially during rapid warming or cooling.
First picture was taken March 9th at 10am, glide crack starting to open up.
The glide avalanche likely happened on March 11th in the early afternoon when the temperature at the weather station across the road rose to +2.8 C.
