Comments
I came across a fresh slide on the Mill B South Trail to Lake Blanche about 1/4 mile before the lake. It appeared to be a natural slide starting from the rocky/steep cliff area. It did not appear to have any tracks into it, out of it, or over it and did not have the fresh snow that covered the rest of the trail, leading me to believe it slid sometime last night or early this morning. Because of the wind, it was difficult to determine the depth of the slide across the trail, but it was deep enough to have fully covered any trace of the trail itself. Apologies for the terrible photos.
