Comments

Set off this slide remotely from a distance, we didn't even realize we set it off until we walked across the large cracks and stress fractures on the saddle of Scotts Bowl. Visibility was limited by blasting winds and blowing snow but we did get a look at it on our return journey from No Name. Appeared to be a pocket that pulled out and triggered another larger pocket lower on the slope. Photos, Cracks that made us realize we had triggered a slide. bad photo of the pocket
