Comments
This was already submitted yesterday but figured I'd add a few photos from the top view, really massive slide, took out a bunch of trees at the bottom, far past what I remember being the toe of the path, down to the Mill A gully and beyond (looking at satellite map confirms, yeah, before this week that was full of aspens)
Crown was around 1000' wide based on caltopo. Up to 5' or so deep in spots, maybe deeper on the SE facing wind loaded side. Probably sliding on a crust from last weekend?
guessing it went on Wednesday, bit of snow had filled back in.
