Comments
This slide has already been reported as on the end of Cutler Ridge. I am adding some details. This slide was at 7000ft. on NE 33 Deg. slope. 20 inches crown. It appears that it slide on old near surface facets on a protected slope. This is the third time I have seen this slope slide over the past 32 years. The last time it was on surface hoar in 2017.
