Comments
While returning from No Name Bowl watched two separate slides triggered by snowmobiles high marking north facing slopes in the top of White Pine. Both slides look like they ran on facets near the ground. This one was triggered right before the biler made it to the ridge, dinner plated around him and he was able to turn the sled around and outrun the debris.
