Avalanche: Chugach State Park
Location: Peak 4
Standard up track of peak 4. Weather was cold, 5 degrees, and clear with winds 0-6mph. Encountered lovely Mary and her perfect pit. On our second lap a skier had climbed to the summit and released a dry loose avalanche that carried from summit to the rock choke. Approximately from 4200 feet to 3700. The dry loose did not step down. Bed surface was old new snow interface.
