Avalanche expert Art Judson captured a pair of avalanches on the flank of Sand Mountain during the weekend. The lower of the two is the largest — about 200 feet in width. The upper of the two is a little harder to make out in the thin line of trees closest to the bald peak. Both are hard slab avalanches, Judson said.
