A popular hill in the Lionhead area slid natrually yesterday (3-16-12). The slide ran on a layer of near surface facets about 3 feet above the ground. Two feet of snow equaling 2.5 inches of SWE has fallen over the past week. This load has pushed buried weak layers past their breaking point. Photo GNFAC
