Comments
Remotely triggered while skinning above the gully. The depth and width are estimates. Felt the snow collapse under our feet and then the entire slope slid about twenty feet away from us. On our exit we noticed this also released a second slide about 50' away from the main slide (last photo). Lots of obvious signs today as we had lots of cracking, collapsing, wind transport and heavy snowfall for the majority of the day.
