We went looking for the persistent slab problem from small, low-angled terrain on San Joaquin Ridge. We found it. See video.

A huge rumbling collapse that traveled across a slope at least 1000 feet on a northeast aspect at 9200 ft, 30-degree slope. Some cracking in drifted snow on east and northeast features.
