Comments
Small slide below White Snake. East facing. Looks like it happened since the last snowfall and has baked in the sun. Possible human trigger by someone skiing on top of the rib but not certain. Upwards from this event there appears to be a long narrow slide from the Gobbler's ridgeline facing South. A set of ski tracks is uncomfortably close to this but originates from another area. Overall a sun crust has formed on multiple aspects.
