The weather here in Utah has been perfect for huge avalanches. These two photos show avalanches in Provo Canyon, which I drive every day. The second one closed the road yesterday and forced me to go home through Park City and Salt Lake City instead of coming through the canyon.
This photo shows Bridal Veil Falls, which often has bad avalanches. Just for scale.... a person standing by the falls would not be visible in this photo. They would be much too small to see. Notice that the slide has closed off the Provo River and is forcing it up over the road at the bottom of the photo. I would guess that the snow is over 100 feet deep in places.
