Avalanche dammed up the river in March 2019, then the river carved a tunnel under the slide. In warm afternoons the tunnel is too small to handle snow melt so it creates a lake behind the plug.

a Slide running off the northeast facing cirque on Gothic Mountain, May 11, 2019. It starts at the top right of the view. It is best to watch on full screen.
This is what happens when a small slide runs during very strong wind- it does not even make it to the ground. February 25, 2020
Avalanche running front center on Bellview Mountain, January 31, 2021 11:20 a.m.
Avalanche running on the top, right side of Bellview Bowl, around 2½ hours after the above slide ran January 31, 2021 2:05 p.m.
A solar flare caused a rare occasion of seeing the northern lights in the East River valley. The camera reverts to black and white and there was some cloudiness but this is a short video of the lights forming on April 23 at 10 p.m. Thanks to Mark Ikedo for capturing this.
