Comments
Went up Little Water today. Wind was blowing hard from the South and there was quite a bit of wind loading going on. There was a slide on the North side of little water that likely ran this morning, as the toe covered some tracks from yesterday. Could not tell if it ran on the new/old snow interface or broke into deeper facets but I suspect the former. Trigger was either a natural cornice fall or skier triggered wind slab (as there were tracks on the eastern edge of the slide).
