Snowpack
Huge slab popped on mountain near Arapahoe Basin Ski Area to the west. Visible from the base area of the ski area and highway 6. I did not witness the slab pop because I had gone inside for lunch but when I came outside, I looked up and a huge slab, approx. 300-400 wide, had popped. Looked 100% natural from my view as I did not see any ski or snowboard tracks anywhere on the mountain it was triggered on. The remains are still visible as of today.
