Huge wet slide debris in Emigrant Gulch 2

A deep pile of wet avalanche debris in Emigrant Gulch. This shows how large and destructive wet avalanches can be. Trails and roads that are almost snow free may still be exposed to hazard from above. It is unknown if this was from a wet slab or wet loose avalanche. Either type of wet avalanche can entrain a lot of snow and run a long distance. Photo: B. VandenBos
