Comments
Noticed this slide went big mid storm. Probably yesterday as it was almost all filled in. Hard to say depth, but it wasn't small(2-4' deep) as it was able to take out a few small trees in only 175' vertical drop. But above the "cat track"
as it bends around the north facing slope then up towards Twin Lakes Pass. It broke out along underneath the cliff band.
