Comments
Couple of slides in the upper portion of Hide A Way in the usual places. No mystery here. Fresh wind drifted snow landing on low density new snow as the weak layer. Looked like ski tracks poking around the starting zones so assuming that these were human triggered. Slopes were already being re-loaded.
