I heard that my buddy triggered this slide from the ridge line earlier in the day and went for a look, there we're actually two slides that went sympathetically, the first one was about 150 ft wide and the second was about 250ft wide. The deepest part of the crown was 18 to 20 inches deep. The wind had loaded the slope and it looked like the weak layer was either the small amount of light density that fell on Monday or yesterday's storm snow, then it immediately stepped down to the old hard bed surface, I could still get the hangfire to crack out when I was looking at it.
