W Face Cannon Mtn

Comments:

A pair of avalanches with deep crowns and destructive debris piles. The most recent of these likely occurred on 3/10, with the other occurring 1-2 days prior. A sheen was observed from the bedsurface, indicating they likely ran on a crust. Many bent and broken trees up to 14" in diameter were found in the debris from both slides. Debris ran over the bench at appx 5,100ft and down to appx 4,400ft. The most recent was the largest of the two, and could be classified as a D3.5.
