I saw this large natural slide on the NE face of Duke. It appears to me that this slide occurred during the last storm.
Forecaster note- man, this slope has got it all. Upper elevation, north facing, steep and rocky terrain, with a thin, weak snowpack... classic Uinta setup. I suspect this was a result of the strong winds on Christmas Eve.
Thanks Michael!
