Hasty pits showed very poor bonding on Jan 16th and Jan 14th interfaces.

I talked to a group of snowmobilers that reported triggering a slide from below. The riders did not witness the slide but discovered it after returning and seeing their tracks covered. The slide most likely happened when the 3rd rider traversed flat terrain in the run out zone below the slide path.
