Comments
Multiple natural slides in mary ellen's gulch following this past storm cycle. 2 of the photographed crowns appeared to have been recent slides following the storm and one which appears to have ran during heavy snow and filled back in. We did not venture out to dig pit profile. We skied SSE facing slopes and did not find many signs of instability. spotty wind drifts were the only cause for concern and we not very responsive or energetic. Beautiful day.
