This was my first day in this drainage so I can't be sure when this slide occurred however I suspect it happened on the 14th of Dec. during the final hours of the storm. The slide was the widest I have observed on this slope. The slope either overloaded just below the leeward rigeline or pulled up midslope to the ridge. The slide ran wide enough to run through a 20+ year old climax slide path (not shown but lookers left of the shown crown) which I have never seen snow run through.
