Avalanche photos from Sheep Creek

There were large slab avalanches that happened on both sides of the valley.  Northerly and southerly aspects.  

I was particularly impressed by the width of one of the slides Nate observed yesterday.  (one of the 2 photos attached).  That slide in the photo looked to be an average of about 2-4' deep (6' deep in places) and about 800-1000' wide, spanning across lots of different terrain features.

I also noticed that the main south facing slide path off of Miller Mountain avalanched very large as well. (the same avalanche path where the snowbiker was killed last winter)  I couldn't see the crown, but the debris ran to the valley bottom and appears to have flattened a large stand of mature timber.

VERY windy out there today.  Primarily SWerly, but blowing in all directions and moving LOTS of snow.  Natural avalanches likely happening today.
