Notes
From email 4/3/22: "I noticed [this dry slab] this morning from town. I saw tracks on it yesterday afternoon (when we arrived) but didn’t notice the slide with naked eye, also super flat light yesterday afternoon... Looks like it could’ve been skier triggered, but maybe not, as there aren’t any tracks going through the path, must’ve been the last skier if that were the case.The debris can be spotted almost to the bottom of the bowl, so quite lengthy."
