Heavy climax slide into several runouts 100' across trail, each size of football field, maybe 6-8' deep at runout, we heard long rumble shortly after Cardiff Pass at about 4 PM that likely was this. Many trees pumeled and left in runout. Not able to inspect starting zone but likely the rock bands up 500' feet-quarter mile. Totally saturated snow.
