Noticed this slide today 1/10, seems like it ran on the Wednesday warm and wet storm. Unknown on the absolute width but it entrained down the main path and ran basically full track to 9200' with broken trees, and piles of debris. HS-N-D2.5.
It was interesting because when I measured snow depth east of the main path still on North facing terrain I found a very weak 75-90cm snowpack though no crown evident there. Perhaps this area has been likely sliding a couple times this season and the one I probed had run earlier this winter given the shallowness. Either way impressive slide in Hideway Park.
