Comments
Observed a wet loose slide that broke just under a convexity on ricardo's roll.
Several ski tracks ran through the area, multiple tracks went over the convexity and were washed out. Likely a skier triggered slide.
We viewed the slide from below and at a distance, so scale was difficult to judge.
Appeared to be 4-6" in depth with a vertical run of 250 ft.
Viewed at roughly 9:30 am, I assume this slide is from yesterday
