Large Natural Crown on N. Saddle of Electric Pk
Date
Activity
Skiing
Large avalanche crown across the east facing saddle off the north side of Electric Peak. Roughy around 10,500 ft, around 800 feet across the crown, looked to have broke around 1-2 feet deep and would guess it happened in the last few days. Lots of active wind loading happening.
