Comments
Was exiting from the PC ridgeline off of Pointy Peak or Desperado, and came across this slide. Was located on the ridge the continues past Sun Peak Chairlift. Was not sure on when this happened, could have been yesterday or earlier in the day today. Did a beacon check on the debris pile and found no signal. There was a ski track down the debris field, which led me to believe that the skier who triggered this slide was ok. This shot is steep, pushing 40 degrees I believe. Pictures taken from the bottom, any other information unknown, but my guess is that this went on one of the rain/wind crusts that have formed.
