Comments
Nearly the entire ridgeline gave way when a small group of sledders crossed above it. They were well back (100') from the wind loaded area and edge and may not even know it released. Our group was around the basin on the East facing slope and witnessed it. Fast mover, lots of dust, cleared to the ground, ran about 200 yards.
