Comments
This slide was also remotely triggered from the ridge line - very sensitive. Cracks in the snow pack went well up onto the flats. The slide didn't release too far back here, but could surprise someone in another place if it did.
Comments
This slide also released just below the thin, 1-2mm, rime crust that formed Sunday, Nov 14.
Comments
Looking down the slide - definitely large enough to catch, carry and bury a person.
