Comments
Noted a lot of natural activity from 2/14's storm/wind in Butler fork and then into Mill A Basin on Raymond. We noted this slide and I would assume it released during the wind event from yesterday into today probably on the sun crust that we noted on the southern side of the compass on our tour today. As the map shows this slide was on a more southerly aspect of the northeast ridge coming off of Mt Raymond.
