Comments
Saw this debris pile while skiing out the Card Canyon west trail this afternoon. It's the first main slide path that comes in from the west as you head up from the archery range. Lots of broken shrubs -- cleared nearly all the brush out and looks like it stopped a few hundred yards below the trail. From the amount / location of the broken brush, I expect this slid from the top -- but didn't see a crown and didn't have a good view of the starting zone. Also, at least a foot+ of fresh snow on top of the debris and relatively smooth. Hard to tell how long ago this slid -- could be 1 or 2 or 3 cycles ago. No other recent tracks on the trail except moose. 1st photo is standing on the trail looking uphill at the starting zone. 2nd photo is standing on the trail looking downhill at the tail of the debris pile.
