Maybe someone with pictures can post them.

The face is all muddy. I wonder if this was a failure in the snowpack or if it is possible that it was more of a landslide?

It looks like there is a pretty distinct crown in HyakBC's third photo?

There are no anchors on that slope. The brush was cut this year.

Actually the brush was only cut below the Keechelus lift and around Easy Gold. No brush cutting was done on the upper slopes.

I'm told they are asking people to evacuate the cabins on the slope side (mine included, but I'm not there today).
