General Comments

This looks like a natural, although it buried a few fairly recent snowmobile tracks.... Perhaps triggered by tree bomb/wet loose slide..Appears to have occurred midday today, 4-11-2011

I also received in person reports of several other similar rider triggered moist slabs in the area from the same time-frame....
