Area Description
Little Cone
Avalanche
Saw an avalanche
Texted to forecaster. A very large natural avalanche on the east-face of Little Cone, west of Telluride. It seems that this slide may have released several days ago, during the peak of the recent warmup. The avalanche failed near treeline and the crown wraps from east to northeast at approximately 11,700'.
