Comments
This slope was adjacent to another slope that had slid on a couple of previous occasions so a slide was expected. The slide broke below the ski cut propagating about 50 ft in width and running a mininum of 200 ft. The end of the debris pile was not visible from our lower vantage point. I believe it slid on a melt freeze crust from a wet storm last week.
