Comments
Far lookers left of the Exxon bowl pulled out, I couldn't see how far it ran. It didn't propagate and take out the whole bowl. There were also fairly good sized slides at the bottom of Noriegas East facing slope right near gold basin TH as well has underneath the "radical" terrain around Tuk. It looked like many slides occurred midway thru the storm and we're loaded back in. This storm filled in many of the cornfields.
Comments
Forecaster note: Closer inspection revealed a much larger avalanche up to 350' wide. This slide is a repeat runner. 3rd time this season.
