We triggered this wet loose slide on a steep ESE facing slope that, while slow moving, entrained quite a bit of snow. If it caught you unaware or in bad terrain it would probably be enough to bury a person and certainly enough to ruin your day. The warm temps made the sun feel especially intense for early February.
