Two events occurred on this slope at Lionhead. Wednesday morning this slope produced a sizeable avalanche that ran well beyond the view of the camera. The avalanche broke in older snow over rock bands but was confined to snow from recent storms on other parts of the slope where the snowpack was deeper and stronger. On Thursday very large cornices broke and tumbled down the slope. Photo: GNFAC
