Comments

A number of point release loose snow slides came out of the steeper rocky portions of some of the Birthday Chutes in White Pine. There was about 6" of new storm snow that fell in the area overnight and this morning with very little wind. These releases came down while we were in the vicinity, but we didn't see it happen as visibility would vary greatly from dense fog to sunshine, but we took a photo before ascending the apron and didn't see any debris so it happened while we were nearby, perhaps during some of the sunny periods, or not. I would not call it a remote.
