Comments
Natural slide above long lake in Uinta moutiains. Observed Saturday morning around 9am.
Forecaster note: Unsure but labeled this as a soft slab PWL avalanche. We have been observing facets on top of an ice crust that were buried around Valentine's Day. This area received snow with an inch of water since then.
