Comments
Checked out this natural slide on a wind loaded easterly slope from the ridge between the Folly and Logan Canyon. Ripped to rotten facets and ran deep into the drainage below, perhaps a thousand plus feet.
Comments
This was the anticipated problem: big natural slides ripping on deep early-season facets.
