Lick Creek Avalanche

Lick Creek Avalanche

From an email: "Here is a wind slab that I triggered from where the picture was taken (About 40 ft away on the ridge line). This is the backside of Lick Creek in Hyalite. The slide was about 100ft wide with a crown ranging between 4-12 inches and did not run very far. A snow pit dug nearby showed no signs of instability, we were confident in skiing the non windloaded terrain nearby." Photo: K. Jamieson
