Notes
Starting at 45°11'13.26"N / 111°27'36.92"W, the NNE slope slid (likely rider caused 2 days ago).
The adjacent slopes at 45°11'18.09"N / 111°27'54.78"W further west were slightly newer perhaps the 26th or late on the 25th. Each ripped down to the ground at the crown. Severe instability was present even when cresting over the slope from the entrance through the regular access to cedar - still not broke open.
