Mostly just submitting this obs in relation to the obs submitted on 12/24. The ski tracks were mine and my partner’s. The wet loose that they reported was not triggered by us and was a couple days old when we skied next to the slide debris on Wednesday. We saw the crown but it was covered by wind blown snow. Based on the fact that it was a couple days old when we were next to it, we couldn’t tell if it was naturally or human triggered. Our snow observations for 12/23 were unremarkable for that area (the west slopes off of Mazama Ridge) so we didn’t submit anything.Signs of Unstable Snow
None reported
