Could you give me a little background on what happened at Mammoth with the steam hole (I am unfamiliar with the incident)

Harvey, I spent many seasons in the local backcountry to where we stayed in the mountains, and I can remember being surprised at how far away from the "drip-line" the instability of the tree well extended (a lot of them actually had a high branch start, but still had a well.)


The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.
