Comments
Saw at least 12 slides on the west facing aspects in Mineral Fork while on the way up to Room of Doom. Must have run during the heat cycle on 2/6/26. What was most concerning is that in the heat of the afternoon of 2/7 we saw multiple people skinning through, around and in close spaced groups on the western aspects of Mineral.
