Comments
Snow transitioned from cold and supportable to sloppy halfway down microwave where the pitch gets steeper…cut across a steeper panel and pushed off quite the wet loose…certainly enough meat to take one for a ride, probably not bury a person but solars are rocky. Ran for a good 2-300 feet, and kept finding more wet snow to pick up and carry with it for a good minute.
