Snowpack

We did observe a slide in our side country today. Looking with binoculars it looked to be SS- R1D1.5. East aspect about 10,900 ft elevation. We call it Tonto’s glade and couldn’t see how it was triggered as it’s a glade and the entire fracture line wasn’t visible to us. It ran no more than 60 vertical feet and the crown was about 2’ deep and maybe 75’ across by rough estimate. No wind loading possible at this location. There were a couple of tracks that were visible just rt of the crown so suspect it was remotely triggered at this time.
