Comments
I was here on Friday and had the same spot remotely trigger while I was walking on the ridge. This one produced a much larger slide with the addition of the new storm snow and wind. It left a very sizable debris pile at the bottom. All the connected terrain to Jaws also pulled out. Nasty looking ride if you were caught. The left hand side of the photo is the crown and the debris in the bottom is also marked to show how far it ran.
