Comments
Observed what looks like a natural in rocky terrain off the NE flank of Gobblers this morning. No signs of tracks and seems like the slide could have happened sometime in the past 24 hours or so. If I were to guess the strong winds loaded the weak and rocky slope. Hard to say exactly the size but looks to have at least a 2-3' crown, 75-100'+ wide and ran 300' or so to the basin.
also visible in the original photo is the remotely triggered Wilson headwall slide
Forecaster Comments: dimensions and structure are conjecture
