Notes
Cornice fall triggered a soft slab avalanche in the Spanish Peaks on the afternoon of 2/13/2020.
From email: "100 feet wide, slid the new snow layer maybe 2-3 feet deep, made a pretty good runnel, and went close to full path , so it must have entrained a decent amount of snow to travel that far .."
