Comments
Looking at the Wellsvilles this morning and noticed a few more recent slab avalanches on th East face of the Wellsville Cone. I did not see any other evidence of slide in the Wellsvilles but I would not be surprised if there were more. These slides were on a ENE face high along the North ridge of the Wellsville Cone.
