Comments
Was in the flats of chickadee. Heard but could not see larger slide. North east aspect. Sounded like large timber and large boulder involved. Slow moving and wet. Fresh west snow about 10cm ontop top of melt freeze crust. Waist deep foot pen and 50cm ski pen when off the packed trail. 3+ facets below melt freeze crust.
Lower ski out watch for open creek holes.
