Went up Toledo Bowl this morning with a plan of recovering my buddy's skis and poles which he lost earlier this year in a season ending avalanche in Jaws, wanted to do it before the south facing was totally melted out. Once we got to the Jaws slide path we realized it had avalanched to the ground most likely yesterday with the afternoon heating. Debris pile was at least 20ft deep at the toe of the slide, and there was dense chunks the size of dumpsters here and there. The slide went to the ground and cleaned the slope down to the dirt. The major part of the slide was covering the exact location where my buddy got buried, not the best scenario for locating lost equipment, oh well maybe in July.
