On Thursday at about 2 pm, we did intentionally trigger a wind/hard slab slide from the ridge between Logan Dry and Mill hollow just below (NW of) pt. 9182. Cut a shopping cart size section of the cornice, which, when it released, also propagated a slab. The slide ran about 75 feet wide and 75 ft down before breaking up in the trees. Up to 1' depth with the crown at 8" (on top of the cornice).
