Comments
On our way up to Superior when we caught sight of this slide from pole line pass, as I'm sure many of you others did too. I was hoping there would be less hazard (and less snow) at higher elevations but it seems the wind's been doing it's thing and this issue will be more widespread before long. Probably happened sometime yesterday with the wind? If the cold hadn't stopped us from wanting to go further, this would have too.
