Comments
I intentionally triggered a number of moist but very soft sluffs involving the fresh snow in the Third Knob Area, south on the ridge from the top of Beaver Mountain..... The sluffs pulled out all the new snow, running on a sun-crust from the end of last week, and by the time I had crossed the bowl there was a significantly large pile of fresh debris below the not-all-that-steep slope....
