We found this slide and suspect it happened maybe a week ago naturally. Or it may have been triggered more recently by snowmobile traffic. What was notable was how far downhill it propagated.
This slope does not face north, but it is completed shaded from sunshine and acts like a north-facing slope.
It occurred on the downhill side of the road from this avalanche.
