Comments
On our second lap up we noticed a natural slide in the Conehead area by Dutch's Draw. Nobody noticed it on our first hike up about an hour prior, but we could've missed it then. It appears to be wind deposits over the PC ridgeline from the day and night prior. Fairly narrow and shallow but ran long with minimal deposit accumulation at the bottom. East facing, ~10k feet and steep. You can see many tracks all around it.
