Comments
Pitch 2 of the "5000" ski route pulled out sometime this morning. Start zone obscured in fog but trimlines on track blasted to fresh green in the trees, and debris visible in runout below treeline. This slab likely originated as a storm or windslab within last nights storm, but may have slid on the october crust at the base of the snowpack.
