This slide was seen just above the divide between Buck Creek and McAtee Basin just south of Big Sky. We dug a snowpit below it and to the left and found an obvious layer of 4-8mm surface hoar crystals buried 1.5 feet deep it was reactive in stability tests. Not a problem everywhere but it does exist in places. Don't get surprised. Snowpit profile here: http://www.mtavalanche.com/images/15/buckmcatee-divide-snowpit?size=_original Photo: GNFAC
