Comments
After wrapping up a run on the north side, I came back up to descend to my car via emmas #1. After descending about 300 feet, I noticed that the top layer of new snow was heavy and loose. After making a decent cut near the steepest part of the run it triggered wet/loose activity. This was at approx 4:00 pm. See vid below.
