Problem #1 Comments
Trigger a dollar ball the size of a car on a west facing slope on the lower benches in Mineral fork below the Bengal Tiger. It got heavy quick when the clouds disappeared around noon. This was at 2 pm. I caught the tail end of it on video. It had already broken a part a bit. Danger is low yet watch out for the warming snow.
