Comments
Precise coordinates: 40.73055, -111.620047, elevation: 8205’, aspect: 356 degrees N. Slope angle unknown, best guess is high 20s or low 30s. Intentionally triggered slide over a small convexity. Approximately 20” deep by 20-25’ wide, ran ~30’ into some brush/trees and came to a stop where the slope returned to a much lower angle. Noticed lots of cracking and collapsing on the new storm layer.
