Report Information
Observation Summary
Could see a recent avalanche from where we were snowmobiling, picture attached.
While looking at the avalanche and talking about it
a third snowmobile pulled up alongside of us and immediately the entire valley floor collapsed we dropped what felt like and inch or more and the sound echoed through the surrounding mountains.
Possibly the largest whumpf my wife and I have ever experienced. We were snowmobiling with friends in the spring creek area of the white river national forest
