Comments
Glide slide on the Broads fork slabs. Looks like it went just after the new snow on Thursday night as the bed surface rock was not covered with any new snow. Hard to tell the depth from across the valley but looks like it took the whole snowpack with it. Saw a second slightly older one a bit higher up towards the twins.
