Avalanche in Sheep Creek, Feb 21

Large avalanche in Sheep Creek from 2/21: "slide in the photo looked to be an average of about 2-4' deep (6' deep in places) and about 800-1000' wide, spanning across lots of different terrain features.

I also noticed that the main south facing slide path off of Miller Mountain avalanched very large as well. (the same avalanche path where the snowbiker was killed last winter)  I couldn't see the crown, but the debris ran to the valley bottom and appears to have flattened a large stand of mature timber."
