The slide probably came down after the Dec 25-26 storm. During this storm 20" of new snow fell on top of 15" to 20" of snow from 3 days before. There are two slide paths shown in the photo. The slide path on the left has a ~38-40 breakover below the starting zone which slides frequently. The path on the right is around 30-33 degrees and does not slide very often. We could not see how far the slide traveled into the trees below.
