Comments
From the ridge to the North I saw there had been a small slide on the face earlier today. It looked to have been triggered by a skier/snowboarder dropping off a soft spot in the cornice and ran a a couple hundred feet until the slope flattened out. The tracks would indicate that the person who triggered it was able to ride out. All observations are rough estimates as I was probably a half mile away.
