Comments
We noticed a small slide that appears to have happened several days ago, prior to Friday's snowfall. It appears to have run on a melt-freeze crust about 20 cm below the current snow surface. This seems like a spot to watch with future storms--it is near the top of the Kessler Slabs, and the current skin track heading to God's Lawnmower enters this pocket before heading back onto more North-facing slopes.
