The avalanche crown was visible near the top of the face pictured in the first photo. The avalanche ran several hundreds of feet across the road and down into a drainage below. The avalanche was about 20 feet wide and debris was piled 8-10 feet deep on the road. The debris was hard and frozen when discovered today.
