Observations
Observed significant avalanche debris, 5+ feet in height and 10-20 feet in width, likely at least 1-2 day old, located at the bottom of the long gully along Lichtenberg’s SW aspect. We suspect the avalanche originated near the summit ridgeline and traveled down the entire length of the gully. No crown higher up was observed, due to lack of line of sight.
