Winds howling out of the east loading NW slopes with very weak basal snow We remotely triggered this hard slab while approaching from a safe location along the ridge.
At 2.5 feet deep the slide isn't overly deep, but it's suprisingly well connected.
Getting pile driven into a group of trees would definately ruin your day if not end your season
Slide number two just a couple hundred feet to the south. This natural was more connected, producing sizeable blocks and debris.
