Comments
I observed this wet slide yesterday afternoon while snowshoeing up the Catherine Pass trail to Snowshoe Hill below the South face of Mount Wolverine. I did not witness the actual slide. I took this photo at 5:34 p.m. My guess is the slide happened some time that afternoon during the warming of the slopes. Avalanche broke below the ridge around 10,400 ft. and ran down to around 9800 ft.
