Unfortunately, no details from the party who triggered this slide, but many thanks to Brad for passing on what he knows. Depth and elevation are estimated. Slide was skier triggered Thursday, Feb 15. Note the quite low elevation. Ran down into a tight gully with a cliff. Luckily, no one was caught. Crown reported to have a bit of southeast in it.
