Comments
Rode microwave on our way out of twin lakes area around 2:30pm today. After a speedy descent of this final far skiers right side of the Microwave, I looked up to see slow-moving loose slide picking up width on its way down. No signs of warming other than the surface snow beginning to feel slightly damp. My partner followed and released another smaller slide beginning above the one I triggered.
