This wasn't much of a slide from a distance it ran or size perspecitve, but Summit Park sees a lot of snowshoers and other recreators that do not necessarily realize that there is avalanche terrain in Summit Park. I thought this be a good reminder that there are several locations on the ridge of Summit Park that have potential danger as well as some terrain traps lower down.
The bed surface of this small slide appears to be the 21Dec Rain Crust with the weak layer being a layer of 1-1.5mm facets above rain crust.
I was not able to estimate when this slide would have run.
