General Comments

Unless you were sick and bed ridden all day today I am sure you noticed the plethora of wet slides on south to west facing slopes. Nothing unusual there but one that I found interesting was off the south peak of flat top on a Southwest facing slope. As the wet slide came down the canyon it released three slabs on an adjacent west facing slope. The small slabs were probably about 30 feet wide and appeared to involve a minimal amount of snow from the most recent storms. It is pretty obvious that the latest instabilities are still there and can be easily triggered.
