Comments

My friend Brad Makoff sent me this photo af a large natural slide in the Room of Doom, Mineral Fork, he stated that the crown was 3 to 4 feet deep and had a large debris pile at the bottom. I was not there but think the info is very pertinent, looks to be another wind load on a N-NE facing steep slope he skied the flank with no further activity.
