Comments
Exiting from West Bowl around noon. I triggered a large slough/slide of heavy dense snow on Emma's. It broke and slid on the new/old snow interface (crust layer). Albeit a small slide and moving slowly, it did manage to run about 400' through a small gulley. Caution advised for south facing slopes as it heats up.
