Notes

From email on 2/20/2020: "I found some localized instabilities, including some wind whales on the ridge north of Bradley’s... The slide in the photo probably happened naturally this late morning, with a trigger of sun-heated snow from the cliffs above (just west of Texas Hill). It ran approximately 100 meters.

From e-mail on 2/21/2020" "I was a few hundred feet north of it when it released. It was skier-triggered by another party traversing high on that slope. It carried the skier for most of the slide path."
