Crazy big avalanche went down at Heather Canyon/Clark Canyon at Mt. Hood Meadows last night.

Deposits up to 30 feet deep
Travelled nearly 3 miles. Crazy.

hoodratz47First. Epic bump
Second. It is really fun terrain there. A lot of people access it and get hurt with no business being there. And the ride out is a bit bogus. And it can get some gross weather there


Seems to me like most often people die in there because they go alone on terrain that's very tucked away. Except a few years ago where there was an enormous ice sheet on a what would be considered a main path and ski patrol left it open. Like this ice sheet was easily more than 1 football field in size, nearly unavoidable, and an unsuspecting snowboarder slid the whole way down it and drowned in a creek. This was one of the rare occasions where ski patrol was straight up negligent and obviously someone died because the conditions were dangerous AF

The one thing about hood. It's not the most dangerous in a terrain sense (yes there are some tech spots). The weather is what is the wild card...
