Comments

South face triggered by snowmobiler at 1430 hrs. Propagated approx 150 meters. Fracture was .75 to 1.25 meters deep. Second smaller slab triggered on similar aspect and slope at 1300 hrs. This was not our group. Was keeping an eye on them in the case of an event. Top lake at the second cabin of Sterling snowmobile area. The black dot in the top left corner of the slide is the snowmobiler that triggered it. I tried to enter the location but it kept changing it. N 55 03.907. W 128 50.581.
