Natural avalanche on Fan Mountain

Natural avalanche on Fan Mountain

Date

From email 2/25/23: "... a good sized slab avalanche on Fan, NE Face. Crown height hard to estimate but looked like a 2’ or so. Maybe running on interface from when it got cold earlier in the week? Possibly deeper than that but sure could have loaded that much this week. Anyway- very white bed surface, good propagation, 200’ -300’ crown length, debris stopped on upper bench. D2.5. Likely triggered by cornice fall."
