Comments
A roller ball likely triggered this slide on on the north east face of the Logan Peak cirque in Mill Hollow. Fracture line was about 500 feet wide and run several hundred feet down but not all the way to the bottom. View from near Logan Peak.
Comments
View from 1/2 way down in the Cirque.
Comments
Later in the afternoon and up on the ridge separating Mill Hollow (the Music Note) and the Folly, we unintentionally collapsed a cornice which ran several hundred feet down into Mill Hollow and entrained a lot of new storm snow. However, the falling cornice did not propagate anything.
