Comments
While riding the Backside of Beaver mountain we noticed some activity both on the backside (Picture 1) and across the highway from the backside (Pictures 2 and 3). The slides occurred between 11:00 and 2:00. The snow got really wet after noon as it warmed up and became very sticky.
We also noticed a lot of activity while driving down the canyon. All the chutes near the mouth of temple fork had slide one making a large pile and snow bridge over the river. Other wet activity was noticed lower in the canyon due to the rain.
