Notes
From e-mail: " Partner remotely triggered large R3-3.5 D3 on a north facing slope at around 8,000 ft elevation. Avalanche ran on facets on the ground and took the entire snowpack with it. Avalanche ran about 1200-1500 vertical taking out mature timber. A very close call and glad that no one was caught. " - Anonymous
