cj001f Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Anybody heard more about this one? Kenny Kramer from the NWAC says there was a huge natural avalanche that started as a 5-10' slab near 10,000' on the Newton Clark Glacier yesterday (April 22nd). The avalanche appears to have been related to a recent storm cycle. A portion of the avalanche is said to have run into the ski area of Hood Meadows. The top of the ski area is at 7300' according to the Hood Meadows website. Anyone from Oregon have pictures or more information? _________________ Gary Brill Avalanche Education/Professional Member AAA/Affiliate CAA/Level I & II Classes http://www.telemarktalk.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=19108 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b-rock Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 It was a pretty big one. Crown was more like 2-3 feet but it ran all the way accross the ridge from Wy'East to NCH. Debris went all the way into Heather Canyon. Big slushy slide it looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrashador Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 fwiw there were sizeable slabs off west crater rim and the hogsback on the south side of høød last thurs. it appeared as if they went sometime wed. crowns looked 6"-1' though we didn't inspect closely. also, there was a slab off the west side of i-rock that carried over the cliffs in the middle of the reid. the debris pile went well into the sandy canyon.
