Comments
Viewed from a distance across High Creek canyon. My guess would be triggered by cornice fall given the size of this slide.
Looked to be fairly new.. many other slabs nearby that must have been before last Monday as they were covered in a couple inches of snow. This particular slide looked to be more recent.. within the last couple of days I would think.
Ran full slope and likely deeper crown than the 3' I mentioned.
Comments
For one shows the most recent slide. Photo two shows some older slides down ridge north that had been blown in and snowed on.
