    This avalanche rolled a full 3000 feet down the mountain and across the small alpine valley. We were on a bench halfway up the facing mountain and about 3500 feet directly across from the center of the test mountain. The roar when the avy moved into the valley was immense, and the powder cloud curled up to less than 1000 feet below us. The valley took a few more control avalanches before we went in for the equipment.That shot of the open mouth on the dragon is going on the wall......

    There is a control avalanche picture sequence or 2 left if anyone still hasn't gone snowblind from looking at all that whiteness. Just to take a break from the snow here's a bunch of gratuitous chopper shots from the testing..............thanks to Chris from Selkirk Mountain Helicopters Ltd in Revelstoke.
