A nice little natural slide on an east facing road cut along the Mirror Lake Highway.  A good indication of how weak our snow pack is. The strong winds earlier in the week overloaded the weak surface snow which could no longer support the weight.

In the wind zone at upper elevations, it was easy to get shooting cracks out in front of your skis or sled- a big red flag and obvious clue to the unstable nature of our snowpack.
