We observed a large debris pile below the north side of Tenderfoot Ridge. Suspect it was caused by wind loading from the south on Tuesday, April 5. We could not get a good look at the slide path or the start zone from the ridgeline. However, we were able to observe it later from the road. Start zone was was maybe 100-200' below ridgeline in a concave feature, just above the second "hump" on the ridge above tree line.
