There was also a good-sized avalanche on the east slope of Tanner Butte about 10 years ago -- some great pictures posted here by Thomas and Don Nelsen, as I recall... is that right, Don?
Tom,

I only noticed this post today, so sorry for the delay.

Yep, I posted some pics of that big avalanche on the east slope of Tanner. As a side note, there were avalanches all over the gorge that year, many in places that hadn't seen an avalanche in well over a hundred years, judging from the size of the trees that were destroyed.
