Notes
We remotely triggered a slide in upper Bear Creek that broke approximately 200 ft away in a gully. It failed ~18" deep on facets underneath the snow that has accumulated since Sunday. It broke in several pockets, totaling around 200 ft wide. There was 12" of new snow at the crown, with 0.7" SWE. The slab contained 1.4" SWE total (which accumulated since Sunday).
