Comments
A slide covering the Boundary/Maryland FSR at 6km which was about a size 2 which seems to have occurred Thursday or Friday. . There is still a significant crust at lower elevations . We chose to tap er cool, play in low slope trees, and enjoy the day. Lots of natural slide activity along the FSR so use trail to Terry Watt Cabin to get to Boundary lake rather than the Canyon "avalanche alley"
