These are two seperate snowmobile triggered slides that happened in close proximity to each other and within roughly the same time period. These slides were both about 100' wide, a few hundred feet vertical, 3-6' deep, both broke into old weak snow near the ground and were both triggered fairly low on the slope as the rider was traversing across the slope. This slope was heavily wind loaded from Wednesday and Thursday and the one group I visited with was a bit surprised that they could trigger the slide low on the slope.
