Comments
3 separate slides in 1000 turn gluuey. 2 on skiers right of gully., very small thin and pocket, wind was probably involved. I think I saw a tiny similar slide heavens gate too. all N E all 3 snowboarder triggered. bottom feeding on 6" lower density snow from weekend.
with no snow anytime soon loaing issues will depend on wind. plenty of snow avai for future transport.
