Notes

From obs: "While touring above the canyon this morning, I noticed a very recent wet s slide (would guess this incident occurred yesterday afternoon, March 4th). This was a skier triggered s slide on a E a aspect at an elevation of 7200. This s slide was roughly 50 feet wide and ran about 50 feet, I estimated this crown to be 2-3 feet deep, slid all the way to the ground. This occurred below a steep roller."
