Comments

I triggered a wet slide today sometime between 1 and 2 pm at the top of the east entrance to Miller Bowl. It ran most of the way down the bowl. About 20 or 30 feet wide at the top, wider at the bottom with a debris pile 1 to 2 feet deep. The top 4" new snow from the Thursday/Friday storm slid on my first ski cut on the very firm layer underneath. The Tony Grove road is now drivable up to the final cattle guard.
