Comments
Triggered a small wet loose slide on a steep turn, maybe 2-4 inches deep. The slide ran for 35-40 feet and I was knocked off of my feet and carried roughly 10 feet. The snow was slow-moving and pretty heavy. I triggered the slide between 11:30 and 11:45 am. Unfortunately, we did not get any photos or videos of the slide or path.
