Comments
Skiing down from just east of Hobb’s Peak we noted some conical deposition along the cliff band to our left. Having unintentionally triggered such features during high snow transport periods, we were wary of skiing too close. Skier one skied adjacent to the trees on the right and remotely triggered the slope under the rock band to the far left. It ran maybe two hundred meters, fanning out on the apron below Hobb’s.
