Avalanche

Track of a fresh avalanche. The couloirs here are unpredictable. Watch out for freak avalanches.

In the western world

we call that a surface slough. Usually caused by rockfall and warm daytime temps.

Re: In the western world

Thanks for the comment. The photo isn't good (the snow field is over exposed), so it may be hard to see where the avalanche has come down.
