Comments
Noticed a large crown in the banana belt from my vantage point near E bowl today. Looks like it ran naturally during the storm or when we experience strong SW winds for several days in a row. Unsure on any details but likely a few hundred feet wide and running several hundred feet as well. The rocky terrain for that zone likely contributed to this large slide as well as potentially buried NSF.
