Tobacco Roots - Peanut Butter Bowl_1

From an email:

"A party of 5 of us went touring in the Bell Lake area yesterday (Sunday, 11/23/14). We skinned up into the cirque and were working our way up to a place where we planned to dig a pit when one member of our party remotely triggered a slide that propagated around the bowl...There were two different layers that slid, the top one was about 8 inches and was primarily new snow over facets. The bottom layer was about 3 inches and was a wind slab sitting on facets right on the ground. Nobody in our party was caught in the slide."

The slide was in an area called Peanut Butter Bowl at 9,600 feet, NE aspect, and 36-37 degrees steep.
