Avalanche on Pikes Peak ! It was just over my right shoulder in the Devils Playground picture..
The snow traveled a distance of 2,520 feet and accumulated a depth of 12 feet along its path, and there were no reported injuries.

A Pikes Peak spokesman said the last time there was a recorded avalanche incident on Pikes Peak was in 2007 which impacted the Glen Cove area and covered the highway in eight feet of snow. The avalanche was the first in 20 years to reach the road, and CAIC said the event 20 years ago did not cross the lower switchback but this one did.
