Comments
Was poking around on sled in area no one has skied/ridden yet this year and remotely triggered this large slide from several hundred yards away. Crown ranged from 1' to probably 5-6' in a few spots. Slide ran full track and filled fully at bottom with significant debris. Forecast today was right on.
