Comments
We spotted this slide from a distance, lower down in Broads fork while skiing the NE facing tree shots. All dimensions are estimates. You can see two crowns in the photo. Our guess is it broke out in the steeper, more northerly terrain before triggering the slide with the more obvious sunlit crown on the west face. We didn't get a view further into the drainage, but can only assume there were more natural avalanches there too.
