Comments
Multiple slide paths off the E face of Box Elder. Appeared to start just under the corniced ridgeline with a wind slab running above the rock bands lower down before stepping down and propagating 400'-600' down slope. Multiple slide paths went and the toe of the debris was probably 1500' down from the ridgeline into the gullies below. Hard to tell from the pics but impressive from where we were standing.
