Pics from JH Trip 3/3 - 3/5 showing Avalanche

This is zoomed in pic of the avalanche on 3/4 that took the kid over the cliff. We thought about going up there early in the morning but decided not to since the new snow and the warming temps. We did not have beacons either.

We traversed though that a few times... Pretty freaky... There's a giant pile of snow...

The traverse above the cliff only leads to that chute. I guess two other people went in fron of him and were fine. He then started and the slide went. I guess it was pretty thick ~5feet.
