I saw this from green slope and only could make out part of it, bit tucked away around corner. A guess would be '400 vert. It could have easily been a natural heat triggered off rocks but 5 snowmobileres in that spot at the same time make me think they triggered it. I couldn't see top 1/2 of it.

Pretty impressive where snowmobilers can get on days like this. I didn't see it go but know the window within 30 min. 12:45 pm my guess is wet loose. sun was out but playing peekaboo. I saw 1 other small loose wet point release s facing between Marco Polo and green slope.

with high sun in sky roller balls on n facing aprons on exit.

Some small glide pockets yesterday seen around road on drive out around / between mineral fork /s turn

georgous day and great snow. S facing thinking about being cooked but not by much at 10,000. my guess is it will cook more than I saw on my 1:20 exit .
