Comments
With all the snow this year, some structures in the Garden City Area are threatened by avalanches of wind drifted snow. These cabins on Mahogany Drive were narrowly missed by a recent natural avalanche. I'm not sure exactly when this occurred. If you know or if you observe natural avalanches, please report them to the UAC....HERE
