Near the top of the ridgeline off of South Bowl, a natural avalanche occurred sometime last night or early this morning. Crown was visible near the top and about 1 foot. Broke about 100 ft wide and traveled about 300-400 feet (about mid-way down the gully off South Bowl). It looked like a cornice broke.Photo:
