Small slide above the roadway cut. It wasn't there when we went past at 1100, but was there at 1400. Approximately 30 snowmobiles/snowbikes had passed in the time frame, no tracks into the area, it is surmised that this was remotely triggered by vehicles passing. The snow broke at the ground on a 2 inch layer of depth hoar (faceted sugar snow) and released approximately 50 feet down.
