Avalanche Details

While skinning up the road above secret squirrel approach, i watched a point release out of adventure chute bury the road approximately 3-4' deep and 50' wide, just 50 yards in front of me. Lucky i stopped to pick those blueberries. A good reminder to avoid that section of approach.
