Comments
Remotely triggered a fairly large slide in wilson glades while riding down the north ridgeline. Was not surprised after passing a similar slide on the wilson/soldier ridge, which was the same aspect and elevation. Numerous slides in Butler Basin all similar aspect and elevation. I didn't get a good photo of the larger slide we set off, but will post anyway.
Forecaster note: this photo appears to be a slide in Wilson Fork following Drew Hardesty's previous track. Drew said he did not trigger this slide so it occurred after he was there--perhaps by another party?
