Comments
Spotted this slide Thursday morning but I suspect it occurred yesterday sometime. It has a little snow blown into it. Dimensions are estimates, and depth is based on snow profile we did on a similar aspect/elevation. It is likely a natural because we couldn't see any tracks near it and it is not a place commonly skied.
