On our way back into Alta from a great tour off of East facing Wolverine we spotted this slide clearly trigger by skiers skiing terrain features off south facing Wolverine. This is not a huge slide but if it carried you throught the small trees over a cliff or carried you into concave toilet bowl terrain feature it could of really hurt. When I talk with the patrol at Alta, they had already seen it but had not been contacted by the people who had triggered it. It is always a good idea to let these hardworking folks know you triggered it and your ok.
