My partner and I went up Mineral and while climbing in the Moonlight area, noticed an impressive natural slide up canyon. Upon closer look, we saw it extended from the far climbers right edge of GB No, all the way to Barrieto. (300+ yards wide...?) Ran full track, over 1200 vert, crossing the Mineral Fork creek. Had an impressive amount of debris in the deposit area with a good bit of lumber in it.
Not sure of timing but best guess would be sometime between 2/7 and maybe 2/9. Debris had the bit of snow on it we received overnight on 2/9. Certainly from wind loading, being NW winds were nuking from 2/4 through 2/8.
