Toured up the looker’s right ridge of the Cascadilla drainage to the upper most elevation (~5960 feet a.s.l.). From this point, we descended toward the northwest and along an unnamed sub-ridge that is adjacent to the starting zone of avalanche prone terrain that produced a size 3 avalanche on 2/6/2017. The resulting avalanche ran full path, destroyed FEC powerline infrastructure, and buried both mains of the BNSF Railway under six feet (6’) of debris at the Railway’s milepost 1182.9 (~ MP 1183). Hence the path’s identifier, Path 1183. The furthest terminus point of debris was on US Highway 2.
