Comments
We remotely triggered a slide skiing an attached lower angle slope. Further north there was evidence of existing slides that released probably during the storm cycle the day before. Another small slide was remotely triggered on the road cut of Hwy 264 "S" curve when we were skiing down to the road. Pretty much every slope or area we skied had settling/whoomping with lots of shooting cracks. There is plenty of low angle fun available - no need to get on any steeper stuff right now.
