Description of Snow, Weather, and Avalanche Conditions: 

Accessing the lower Donner area below the tracks today from the Donner lake parking area. Shortly after starting the skin from the right of way noticed these trees down and stream area appeared to be filled in. Noticed that this appears to be a recent slide path that took out numerous trees and deposited the runout all the way down into the right of way access. I was out there last Saturday (Feb 25) as well and did not see this then.
