Comments
Skied into Wilson Glades Saturday 1/22 and found that the run had slid sometime previous to last week's storm. As far as we can tell, this avalanche has not yet been reported. The ~2ft crown was about 1/3 the way down the slope at the rollover. We noticed buried tracks on the shoulder to skiers left but with the small amount of new storm snow it was hard to tell if it was natural or human triggered.
