Middle Basin Avalanche 3

From obs: "We considered skiing east into middle just before the prayer flags, but when approaching the slope to dig a pit we got a significant collapse and decided to ski a more conservative pitch further north. When continuing north on the ridge we saw a recent cornice collapse which triggered an avalanche" This avalanche was triggered by skiers breaking cornices on 01/20. Photo: M. Zenker
