This slide in Snowslide Jr. occurred around noon today. The temp had reached 50F and the weak faceted snow found at this low elevation shady slope once again became saturated and failed. Not a big slope by any means and also not a very big slide but it is a good illustration of how even a small slide in a bad location can have big consequences. This slide piled up to 6' of debris onto the bike path that sits above the Provo River. I saw lots of people recreating along this path today, luckily no one was involved in this one.

Several other WL slides of this size occurred today in the Provo area on E-SW aspects at mid and upper elevations. This was the only slide I noticed on a northerly aspect, likely due to its low elevation.
