I received the following link this evening with some good footage of large avalanches - figured they were worth passing on. These occurred today, November 28th, during Blackcomb ski patrol's avalanche control work. The slope is in the Blackcomb Glacier area locally known as Corona, which is above you on the skiers right as you descend Blackcomb Glacier. The debris and powder cloud from this avalanche cover the regular Blackcomb Glacier ski run. http://youtu.be/O65CFK0zoFk
A darn good reminder of what avalanche forecasters mean by low probability, high consequence avalanches. Check out the forecasts below-and keep in mind the limited amount of observations available this time of year.
