The Battleship (also known as Arnold) is a large path along US 550 in southwestern Colorado. It is located in the San Juan Mountains about 3.55 miles north of Silverton. The top of the starting zone is at 12,400 feet, and avalanches can fall 2720 feet to Mineral Creek, but very large slab avalanches such as this one can climb the 250 feet from the creek to the highway. This avalanche buried US 550 3 feet X 800 feet.

Since Little Cottonwood was closed I went to Brighton and proceeded to Little Cottonwood. Discovered a large avalanche with a crown of up to nine feet in the main Dog Lake Chute above Dog Lake to the west of the Brighton ski area. Slide ran during the night and was about 100 feet wide. Slope is northeast facing at about 9500 feet. Mature timber was removed in the path.

Proceeded to Catherines continung up the ridge to Wolverine and descended back to Brighton cutting out a small slide on the little steep hill above Lake Martha.
No slides were visible in the Sunset, Rocky Point area nor on Wolverine or Tuscarora.
i can't imagine the consequences of being in a slide that large. is it safe to assume that it broke on facets and is in a heavily wind affected area? i'm not too familiar with dog lake. i only remember a powder hill just above that strains into some trees just before the lake. what was the angle of the bedsurface? it looks pretty tame at the crown (low 30's).
i'm glad to see that you are still posting over here. please stick around. we need the knowledge. also stop by the new forum (slide zone) and lend us some knowledge.
thanks for sticking around. see you in a few days.
edit: also what were the dimensions of the slide and how deep was the debris pile?
What is the safety factor of even standing there?Quote:

Since the slide ran the day before it was quite safe. We used the east facing next to the slide as an exit run back to Brighton, had to jump over one stress fracture around six feet deep and a couple wide with two more concealed by the new snow below the first one.
As has been mentioned previously on this thread: after a 24 or so hour period, the slide path and the stress fractures surrounding it are unlikely to avalanche because the tension was released in the original slide and the snow has had a good long period to set up from the jolt received with the avalanche.
I wasn't worried about being on the slide path or skiing beside it, but my partner, without much experience, was a bit disturbed and learned a lot from the exposure
s,
is that the big one from East Chute of Elk Point that tremper was raving about this am?
the pics are unreal, it HOPPED slide paths & took out 2+ acres of mature timber
correct woodsy. it was rather large. i will be up in bcc this weekend for the uac class. if you see us out say hello.
WILL DO
if you come by to say hi to Marvin & the Gang stop in to the Inn and say hi.

But your brain is not attached to a 250lb body sitting on a 500lb sled. "If an avalanche starts I'll just out run it. Even if I do get caught I have a full face helmet with a radio, I"ll be able to breath and call in my rescuers."Quote:

trackhead, i believe this is your neck of the woods. where is that in relation to reids? aspect?

That peak is just south of the highway, just east of the summit of the pass.Quote:

I believe that is a NW aspect. That thing slides all the time.
