Historic Avalanches

I spent some time over the last few weekends in the northern Sawatch Range. There is some major evidence of the significant avalanche cycle that Colorado experienced in March of 2019. Several of these paths ran full track with most extending trim lines and run-out zones with lots of downed timber in the paths. Impressive.
