Comments
The clouds cleared today and we could finally see. Evidence of a widespread natural cycle after last weeks storm. Noticed a notable large slab avalanche out of a steep SE facing slope off of Mt McKay. Looked deeper than most of the natural cycle crowns seen. Crown depth over 1 meter. Picture is hard to see!
