General Comments

We came across two fresh looking slides today. One, at the top of the slope and the other at the bottom. The top one was small and didn't run far. New snow on buried surface hoar potentially. Cracks were apparent in the area surrounding the broken slab. I found a few more pockets while descending that "shattered" under my feet with no consequence.

The second larger slide is about 10" deep and 80 feet wide. It ran to the flats below. The picture shows the fresh slide on the skier's right as well as the now covered deposition from last Saturday's larger and longer running avalanche. Looks to have been unintentionally triggered from above.
