	2012/12/19  †	Berthoud Pass	1	TL	NW	SS	AS	R2	D1
Date: 2012/12/19 (Estimated) Observer: Jordan Lipp Area Description: High Trail Trees, Berthoud Pass Landmark: Berthoud Pass Average Slope Angle: 38 ° Maximum Slope Angle: 40 ° Elevation: 11400 ft Sliding Surface: G - At Ground/Ice/Firm Weak Layer Grain Type: Depth Hoar Average Crown: 36 in Average Width: 80 ft Average Vertical: 150 ft Comments: This avalanche was skier (or boarder) triggered this morning, just to skier's left of yesterday's slide in High Trail Trees/Hanging Meadow. R2, D1. Slid to ground. For what it's worth, skiing over yesterday's debris field, I'd classify that one as an R4, D2.
