Comments
Likely from yesterday judging by the dusting of new snow on it. No tracks in the area or above so assuming a natural during the storm.
This section had slid previously so good to note that this was a repeater. I didn't take a super close look as there was plenty of hangfire around and snow was very touchy today.
