I Saw this slide from afar, decided to go take a closer look. I'm guessing it happened on sat(2/8) or sun(2/9) after new snow and strong wind event. It Appeared to have been triggered by a snowmobiler ascending the slope. There were no sled tracks on bed surface. observed snowmobile track peeling out near the top of ridge. Triggered in thinner area, 2' deep but propagated down slope and the crown was easily 4-5' deep 300'w running well over 500'. It appeared to have been a close call.
