Thought I would check out some of the weaker snow pack areas around the Mill Creek drainage since things have been a little quiet over there. I spotted this sled triggered slide that may have happened on Sunday with the nice weather and new snow. It looks like the slide started as a shallow wind slab then stepped down into weak snow near the ground. This slope avalanches quite often when southwest winds grabs snow from the large fetch and deposits it onto the leeward side.
