Fortunately the whole pack did not come down this time, there are large clumps of snow that did not move far, but are big enough to bury a person and snow mobile if they had been in the area.
Annainaks pond is the reserve water supply for the town. A pipe runs down the hill from the pond, if needed valves are turned on to run water down into the dame.

Hi Brian
great pictures- would love to be able to use them in our presentations on avalanches - your neighbour the avalanche/ mountaineering guy has sent me plenty over the years also, and have used some in my book "Killer Snow" - see
http://www.flankerpress.com/killer_snow.shtml
which also has the story of the worst avalanche disaster in eastern Canada- near Nain in 1782/83 in it. Anyway, drop me a line at dliverman@gov.nl.ca
