Comments
I noticed this slide Tuesday January 31st from Reynolds peak and that is was not yet reported. Dimensions estimated. Unsure of when this happened but it is a good visual of the SE wind loading. Looks like the ski tracks next to this slide could have been the trigger as they danced down the low angle ridge next the edge of the obvious wind slab. Similar cross loading patterns evident across the SE through NE aspects of the Wilson and Gobblers sub ridges show isolated hazzard.
