From Paul Austin: Wayne,
We were out Oboe/Cowboy way on Saturday and the large avalanche shown in the picture on your blog today was there then.
Paul
The attached pic is rather grainy as taken from an iPhone but from the top of Oboe I saw a crown line lookers right of Cowboy Ridge above a gnarly cliff band - hard to judge the size, and you may have seen better footage already, but it seemed to be a natural as no tracks could be seen leading in, and below it fell away into some steep un-skiable terrain (not shown in this photo) that drains into Singing Creek. Would love to hear if you have any more info on that one - has anyone flown over it?
We skied the Apostles today, in perfect pow after a lazy late start, and Singing Pass is also in great shape.
