Recent slide on the approach to Hector took out most of the years snowpack. Looked very fresh and if I had to guess it was likely a remote trigger from the skin track either yesterday or this morning? Anyone else that was up there know? Also lots of wet slides on the south facing slopes, mostly from yesterday, didn’t see much action on the way out this afternoon
