Mt Athabasca standard route ramp size 2 avalanche, ~30-50cm crown,
occurred today @ approximately 1300hrs. Roughly same dimensions as the
avalanche that occurred on August 28 (see MCR report Aug 28 and 29 -2
fatal) except for running a little further along the flats. A few
parties in the area and everyone accounted for.
