This slide came out natural during recent snow event. Surface hoar was identified here prior. It produced stubborn shears with full propagtion in many tests.
Here are a couple of the official UAC Observer Babes that went up with me to investigate the slide and perhaps make a run or two in powder snow. As you can see, the debris was quite wide and most definately able to kill a person.
