Comments
This could have been remotely or deliberately triggered. This is the large bowl 3/4 of the way to Cardiff Pass (just Southwest of Toledo Chute) that is often used as a test slope. Was not surprising it went, because the snow slabbed up around lunchtime with the wind. What surprised me was how far; it wrapped around the entire bowl. I checked for, but did not get, a signal.
