Saw this little wet slide from the highway today as we were headed up to ride the Beav. Looked like it ran a bit but didn't leave much for a debris pile. We also noticed many of the temple chutes had slid out today or yesterday also.
Not much to say other than it's too warm up there. Fifty degrees on our way down canyon today.

Forecaster's note: This "little wet avalanche" was actually pretty big. The natural avalanche initiated in the steep cliff bands above and looks as though it may have actuall been a wet slab avalanche, given it's width and location.
