Comments
We went up to remove the Windy Peak weather station and got to see all the carnage from the big April storm. We suspect most of the activity occurred sometime late Monday or early Tuesday during the height of the storm.
Comments
This slide consists of two large pockets. The slide to the lookers left pulled out into low angle terrain in a fairly dense stand of trees.
Comments
Another large piece of snow breaking to the ground.
Comments
This slide happened late in the storm and we suspect a large piece of cornice peeled off, triggering this slide which broke on weak snow near the ground.
