Comments
As I drove home from work yesterday I noticed a slide in South Wide Canyon above Sherwood Hills Resort. The slide was on an East face, 40 feet wide and ran about 400 vert (between 7300ft and 6900ft). It looked fairly fresh and involved the top 4-12 inches (hard to tell exact numbers while traveling at 60 mph on the highway). I couldn’t see any ski tracks in the area so I assume it was a natural.
