I had skied up just one week before, and it wasn't there. So it must have happened between March 11th and March 19th. It was a pretty awesome sight!

I have tracked US avi accidents for years and the first mention (I have come across) of problems in the Adirondacks goes back to 1941. An old-timer back in 1976, Charlie Nolan (caretaker at Lake Colden) told of the 1941 avalanche that tore down the Trap Dike and took out the original Caribou lean-to. He reported no other avalanches until the winter of 1975-76 when an avalanche piled snow and parts of trees onto Avalanche Lake on Jan 28, 1976. Then a couple of months later a bit smaller avalanche did the same thing in early March.
