Comments
Steeper slope underneath the north facing skin track up grizzly gulch. Seems like a skier triggered it from underneath it yesterday. You can see the tracks going into the right flank and then coming out the left flank. We tested the slope that was north facing on the inside of Chads gap and it went.
