Comments
Did not notice this slide headed out in the morning, but that have been because of low light conditions. This slide and one nearby appeared to have been triggered by a snowmobile during the morning. The snowmobile tracks were fresh and not yet windblown in.
Large debris from wind loaded ridge above. Some pieces larger than 6' tall. Did not reach full runout potential. Connect slopes looked suspect that identical loading and aspect. Angle starts at about 38° and ran out on the mostly 35° slope.
