Comments
Another large slide in toots to boots, couldn't tell if it quiet went wall to wall as much of the crown has already blown in, but it was pretty close. Looks to have slid Wed night/early Thur. Looked to me like it started in one of the new snow layers, but quickly stepped down to the early Feb facets, which in this spot were quite weak, as it slid to the ground in Jan and had only about 2 feet of snow on the ground. Now it is back to about 2 feet on the ground again. Ran full track with a nice size debris pile, which is barely visible in the photo below. Depth was about 2.5 feet. No other red flags other than wind or heavy snow.
