Bull Trout

Comments:

This slide failed in the E/NE bowl near Bull Trout Point. There are a number of nearby snowmobile tracks. The debris looked like it had a lot of harder chunks in it, I suspect this slide failed as a dense slab over some persistent weak layer, likely 1/5 based on depth (?). Low confidence on weak layer involvement. Visibility wasn't great, thanks to the poor light, but it looked like there were several pockets that had failed, potentially at different times. The visible crowns were located below the large cliff band on this face.
