Snowpack

just wanted to forward some information from my tour today. We were in East Vail/Benchmark, and had a few small slabs Release. One was remote triggered from jumping a small cliff and the others released on impact. Here is the only pic I have from today towards the bottom of the line before the run out. Another released underneath the cliffs in teleline where it ripped earlier the season. And the third was under the cliff bench between west Marvin’s and teleline. All R1 D1, nothing serious, but I can imagine that much bigger slides are possible in steeper terrain.
