General Comments

Go big or go home as they say here in the Wasatch. Third time this winter post storm I've come across a large natural slide on east/north east facing. This slide is further up drainage than the one found on 3/27. It is also larger. Last pic is looking down drainage. Sluff/slide from cornice drop and many point releases are also seen.
