Glide in Broads Fork between Bonkers and the Diving Board. Was hoping someone would submit pics as I didn't have a camera.
Pretty sure it came down overnight between Mar 18 and Mar 19. I observed it from Porter Pass west of Mt. Raymond about 1pm Mar 19.
Looked to have started high and pulled out a slab measured in acres leaving a massive debris pile in the flat.
