Large Avalanche between Fairy and Frazier Lakes_1

Large Avalanche between Fairy and Frazier Lakes_1

This east facing avalanche was seen yesterday (Monday) and likely released over the weekend.  It is located in the bowl between Fairy and Frazier Lake on the shoulder of Hardscrabble Peak. The trigger is unknown, but there were snowmobile tracks on the slope near the crown. The slide was 1-3' deep, almost 1,000' wide and 1,000' vertical. It likely failed on a similar layer of facets as the slide on Sacajewea last week. Photo: B. VandenBos
