Comments
Small glide above the Blue Ice in Broads Fork.
Observed it about 1:30 pm Wednesday from Porter Pass west of Mt. Raymond. Guessing it came down overnight Tuesday the 26th.
Slab failed on a steep shear face and ran to the flats, about 1000 vertical feet. Hard to tell exact dimensions from the Porter Fork ridge line, but it appeared to be a 100 ft wide by 100 foot long square block of snow that glided off the rock face. Left a decent debris pile.
