A large slide on the east side of Moffit Peak, possibly triggered some time this weekend. The only tracks I observed that might be a trigger point is on the lower flank where the snow pack might have been shallow? Winds from last week likely overloaded the buried faceted snow and the slope just needed a trigger.
A small pocket also on the east side of Moffit Peak. There are some sled tracks below the slide, but not sure if they triggered the slide?
