Observations

We skinned up the ridge on the east side of Little Morrison in route to Old Man's Bowl. In route we heard voices on the ridge above us on Little Morrison. Two riders had triggered a small slide that traveled 100-200 feet. A few seconds after it stopped the entire slope gave way 100-200 feet lower down. The slide traveled all the way into the gully below the peak.
