Snowpack

Skied NW ridge of Snodgrass towards the saddle between Snodgrass and Gothic. Heard a large collapse in steeper, dense trees about 10,700'. Regrouped just above a small glade when we triggered a slide on the 38 degree glade. Slide ran to the ground, with a crown of 2 ft, was 50 ft. wide and ran 200 ft. Skied lower angle, east facing glades towards the town of Gothic without further signs of instability.
