General Comments

Slightly hard to see, but most of the east facing ridge off of Murdock heading down to Lambs Canyon had slid. Looked about 1 foot deep, but would be an ugly ride through the trees.

General Comments 2

A closer view of the upper part of the ridge.

General Comments 3

Pockets on the lower part of the ridge. They look to be connected, but it's hard to say for sure.

General Comments 4

Wind Pillows on the Southeast aspect off Murdock.
