SWComments:
As we were traveling down the SSW slope of Round Mountain around 5,000ft, we came across an avalanche that we hadn't seen when we passed uphill an hour before. Avalanche looks like it was triggered by a sled cut and the crown was roughly 1.5 to 2ft deep. It propagated around 200 ft in width.Photo:
