That is big destruction, not quite on the scale of Skwellepel creek though! Did you find some good snow? Does your dog have avalanch training? |

| Eerie to walk through the melted aftermath. On the plus side, lots of sticks to chew (for your golden) |

Yeah, Skwellepel can get ugly. Are you saying there was something recent in the last couple of years?

If this is a view of Zig Zag and Buck then I guess you guys are somewhere up Pokosha Creek area.

Yes - the avalanche paths on Buck are quite distinct. Plus the summit way in the background is Tricouni. And we all know that Paul loves ski trips to Pokosha Creek. |

Nice shots, a lot of slide destruction there of the trees.
McGuire has some of that too.

Just remembering the scary and gigantic piles of snow that came off Bardean, around the turn of the century!
