Slide South of Henderson Bench

Skiing

Sunday morning 12/15 we were skiing just Southwest of Henderson Mountain between the road cuts. The first skier in our party remotely triggered this slide from a slightly lower angle aspect about 50 ft to the skiers left of the slide where the snowpack was shallower. It broke on a convex rollover about 100 ft wide and ran about 80 ft. downslope. The crown averaged 30 inches and broke on sugary facets about 18 inches from the ground. No one was caught.
