Destroyed forest below Source Lake.  Note the snow level at the time by the place the trees got snapped off.

In the spring of 1999, a huge avalanche took out the area around Source Lake.   It started near the ridge between Snow Lake and Source Lake, and swept down the valley for a considerable distance.  Click on the pictures below for a larger image.
