Not actually short swing. Steep N facing run between short swing and powder park 3. I'm not Sure when this came down. It had some new snow covering the debris and bed surface but could have come down mid storm sometime last night. This area was wind loaded and corniced. I did not inspect too closely and the extent of the runout was obscured by trees.
