This slide likely occurred on Dec. 14. I had seen it on the 15th when I was skiing the south side but was unable to see the crown from the top. There were 4 snowmoblilers taking a break at the bottom and I had hoped they would send in the pic. Sorry no picture the sun was straight in my face (probably why the aforementioned sleders didn't have pic either). For future reference, the slide pulled out into the skiers right line which is the typical line I see skied. This was a north side wall to wall slide pulling out within the firs. The east facing flank was intact.
