Avalanche Track - Hardscrabble Peak

Avalanche Track - Hardscrabble Peak

This slide was the result of a heavy wind load sitting over weak facets, which formed around the rock outcroppings in the upper part of the path.  A cornice drop was presumably the trigger.  The avalanche ran close to 1,000 ft vertical.  GNFAC
