Comments
Observed this large slide from the road. This apparently came down some time in the last three days. It appeared to be a naturally triggered avalanche, consistent with what we've been seeing on the Skyline for the last week and a half or so. While we didn't hike up to the slide, it seems fair to guess that it failed on buried facets near the ground.
