Comments
I saw this slide while hiking on the ridge West of Dog Lake. On lookers left of the Seagull chute bowl, a small slide that appeared natural (no tracks leading in or out), slid under a rollover and beneath a band of large rocks. I wasn't close enough to investigate, but it appeared to be a slab of some kind.
