Comments
Took a few steps off the skin track on the ridge and heard a loud collapse with a shooting crack. A pocket pulled out about 80 ft away (NW of trigger) and 40 ft off the ridge. Crown photo is taken from location of trigger. The slide rolled over the bench but didn't appear to make it to the bottom of the bowl. Shooting cracks continued West along the ridge beyond the crown.
