Large Slide Near Gardiner - 3/26/16

This large slide occurred near Gardiner Montana. It was triggered by a human induced cornice drop and partially buried a skier. The crown was estimated at 8-10 feet deep. The slope appears to be heavily wind loaded and the slide failed on deeply buried facets. Photo I Mcintosh.
