I am not sure of the age of this slide. Looks like a day or two before the
fresh snow of July 03. But given Steve's report and the size of the
avalanche it is still noteworthy. Slab depth is estimated at around 2m and
down to the ice. Something to keep in mind if we really do finally get the
hot weather forecasted for the weekend.
