This is above highway 21 by people park to tour for Freeman’s. Looks like it happened early this morning. Maybe remotely triggered by snowplow from way below. About 100ft wide by 100ft long and looks like 6-10” deep.

Very warm out at Mores Creek Summit area 34 degrees at parking lot. Moderate wind and was snowing most of first part day. Up near the upper ridge of Sunset there was some snow being transported on to E and SE aspects. Snow was very heavy. Was worry of Storm slabs and wind loaded slopes. Skied very low angle trees.
