Comments
Saw this from little water summit. Pretty sure this was skier triggered (remotely) as I could see a skinner going up the ridge from upper Mill D to the crown, and then it turned around. Biggest Slide I saw today. d2.5 or maybe 3, snapped some big trees. Wind slab on PWL.
Firewater proper did not slide, but also is a repeater path, I'll bet money it goes overnight tonight.
