This was a natural avalanche that occurred on April 4, 2023. The debris is massive and set new trim lines. The debris crossed Little Cottonwood Creek. This is one of the more impressive avalanches of an impressive cycle. Photo 5 shows how close the debris ran towards the fee booth for the Tanners Campground.
