Comments:
We observed what looked to be a slide path from the previous day or two. The crown appear to be about 2 feet deep, and it had started from around 7200 feet and propagated 75-100 yards wide across a complex slope. It did not appear to have broken to the ground, so this may have run on a layer of buried surface hoar.
Did you see shooting cracks?
Yes
