Comments
Walking the PC Ridgeline, I remotely triggered this slide from the ridge about 150' away. Occurred in the NE facing, far skier's R side of the Scott's Bowl slide path and ran far and fast into the flats, taking out a wider portion in the lower portion of the bowl on its way down. Thunderous collapses and shooting cracks observed all day, and many of the PC ridgeline paths slid to the ground over the previous 2 days.
