Just a heads up that avy conditions are pretty bad out there... I witnessed a large slide at Quartz today, appeared to be natural trigger but guys were punching up close by. Probably 100m across, ran out on to the meadow. Hard to guess on the depth, but it was of decent size. Be careful out there.

That looks like the hill to go up to the rolling hills after the poo stain. Well looks like the bad spots should unload elnatural. Hope so anyways

I saw the whole thing go last year from about 100m left of the pull up the mtn from the old cabin about 1km long, would have pushed a dude into the trees, and thats all she would have wrote.

This (sledhead5000's pic on page 13) was just left of the climb you take to "bow cycle bowl"... not far from the Old Cabin.

We rode Quartz on Friday the snow was deep, seen an avy first thing the morning, and sledhead5000 got some of it on his helmet cam! Snow was great, on our way home from revy yesterday it was snow/raining from revy to Banff pretty much. Roads were crap!...and cars sliding all over the place...semi's spun out and even the sander was spun out and couldn't make it up one hill. I would load some picture's but I think the site, or me is having issue's

Yes that's correct. There was a group punching up there a few minutes before it went off. I thought we'd be digging guys out for sure. Some of the turnouts they made got covered by the avy, but not the access chute itself. Glad they weren't caught in it.

I got the end of the slide on helmet cam... doesn't look like much though. I woulda got more of it on film but I wasn't sure I was safe where I was and had to ride further out of the way quickly before turning on the cam. Rest of my group was either stuck or helping dig out a ways away, they didn't see or hear the slide.
