The Kahler Glen home destroyed by an avalanche earlier this month was built under the assumption that an older geo-hazard study was still valid according to a recent Wenatchee World article.  After the study was completed a forest fire razed the slopes above the home removing the trees and vegetation that might have prevented an avalanche.  My educated guess is that this loss of vegetation is also the likely the cause of a large mudslide on Pelton Place last Spring.
