Comments
Ascending the Patsy ridge this morning do a few laps in the trees. Came upon a solo split boarder and another group having a discussion. Apparently the split boarder had been ascending the ridge after skiing in TLP and remotely triggered this slide. Did not stick around to gather the details. Ascended a bit further up the ridge and got a better angle of the slide.
No tracks were seen in the slide area. Alta Central was notified so no one would be sent.
