Noticed Ricardo's had slid as we were skinning up the Meadows chutes up track. Looks like 100 ft wide Plenty of hang fire above. Spoke with friends who put in the uptrack and it ran between 7 and noon, maybe sympathetic when they skied down just to skiers right near Brad's line. It released midway down the slope, well below the rocky outcrop weak point. About 2 feet deep, suspect it slid on the underlying crust. Ran about 300 feet but not to the road.
