They threw a charge on it, would have gone natural at some point though

Having lived through 2 avalanches that did actually hit the Peruvian Lodge I'm thinking this slide came down just a little east of the lodge itself. I'm guessing the west end of the GMD lot was pretty much buried and that there is no more need to actually build the snow bridge. Lodge staff seems to be reporting that this was a natural slide, the guns had not yet been fired.
