Comments
Spotted this slide Thursday morning but I suspect it occurred yesterday afternoon. Dimensions are estimates, and depth is based on snow profile we did on a similar aspect/elevation. There was another smaller slide that may have occurred at the same time just left of this one in the area with a mix of sun and shadows. It is likely a natural becuase we couldn't see any tracks near it and it is not a place commonly skied.
