Comments

This slide was likely triggered by a resort skier tickling the ski area boundary at Sundance. It went unreported by anyone involved possibly not even knowing they had triggered it. Much time was spent determining if a search was needed due to risk of other slides. Photo below: Logan Rodriguez
