Comments
All major starting zones in west porter ran during the recent high PI event on 3/6. One interesting slide was skier triggered in the deep gully terrain trap that divides skin track from the primary WP run. It appeared that one failed on a mid storm interface. Photos includes are of the skier triggered slide, and then the hummocky surface texture evidence of the storm failures. These are from skiers left WP above the thaynes sneak over and from the main path skiers left of WP pass that terminates on the WP skin track. Seems like these paths are greased and primed and if we receive another major precip event WP storm skiers should be heads up.
