Avi was 600' wide and 8' deep.

"Authorities have released the names of five Colorado snowboarders killed over the weekend in the state's deadliest avalanche in more than 50 years. .....a systemic weakness in the snowpack was exacerbated by heavy snow that fell on the pass over the past week and a half. 'It's been something that's been giving us problems all winter,' he said. 'But the snow storms that have been coming in this spring have just created a large slab on top of it.' "
