While ascending the NE ridge of Mt. Raymond we spotted a slidepath on the opposite side of Mill A Basin. Based upon the debris and recent avalanche activity slide looks to be a soft slab that released on facets. No evidence of ski tracks entering or exiting. This slide is on the same ridge, farther West, and almost twice as large as the Mill A slide reported on 2/26/22.
