1. The uphill tracks on the right flank where one rider crossed the slope and found the weak spot and collapsed the slope. 2. This site has had numerous close calls and unfortunately a fatality last season. One of the real dangers here is the debris stops on the bench below and piles up quickly. 3. Only about three and half feet of snow at this location where shallow weak sugary snow develops. 4. This avalanched to the ground.
