large natural avalanche, NE Mt. Henderson
We were ski touring on the SW side of Mt. Henderson today, and noticed a large (natural?) avalanche on the NE aspect of Henderson. First observed at around 1:15pm. It appeared to be very fresh, possibly from a remote trigger this morning.
2 photos attached. A NE aspect, around 10,000'.
It looked to be 4-6' deep and about 500' wide. And it failed on snow at/ near the ground.
Weather: today alternated between heavy snowfall, and patches of sunshine. Temps in the low/ mid 20's F, and calm winds. A very nice day for ski touring.
No other avalanche activity observed in Miller Creek.
We experienced a couple of large collapses on westerly aspects/ in wind affected terrain around 10,000'.
