Natural Avalanche - Lionhead

This natural avalanche occured very early in the morning of Jan 24 after only a few inches of snow fell. This slope is easterly facing around 9000' elevation. When only a few inches of snow and some wind leads to natural avalanche activity, conditions are very unstable. Many other slides were seen on similar slopes. Some recent, some a few days old.
