Comments
Just an estimate on the dimensions, slope angle and cause. We didn't measure anything. The slope was somewhat wind-loaded with new storm snow, maybe had a slight bit of east aspect to it. Seemed to just be the soft new snow that slid. The debris skied really nice and creamy actually. It had been pretty cloudy earlier in the morning but the sun was starting to come through.
