when was the last time there was such a large deposition field that was that high and across the lake to the summer trail? i admit i find it very surprising .

yes definitely, i see that now . i haven't been up there in years, just trying to understand how the snow fell. Never realized the possibility of that size of a avalanche there, seeing is believing.

Wright Peak in the Adirondacks Wright Peak in the Adirondacks had a killer avalanche Feb 2000, the weekend of the goodwill games. Hurricane Floyd in Sept 99 caused the mud slide that buried avalanche pass, it also caused a new slide on wright peak. The next winter 6 skiers were caught...
