Our party noticed debris on the apron of Day’s Draw. Ascending Chicken Shit Ridge, we saw the crown that’s estimated ~3 feet deep. We assume it slid during the storm and had been partially refilled, as the apron had fresh snow on top of the debris. The slide went the entire length of days draw (~1500 feet).
