5/3/22 at approximately 4:00pm a storm sslabavalanche occurred in beehive basin on a west asaspect9000 ft. This slslabas 6-8” deep and propagated around 50’. No one was buried, however we aren’t sure if anyone was caught because we were not the party who triggered this avalanche. We did witness the party drop in but quick went out of sight.
