Comments
Looks like glide season has started on the Raymond slabs - assuming it went overnight 3/28-29 as there was no new snow on top of the rock and no mention of it in the Raymond ob from yesterday.
[Forecaster Comment: Two UAC forecasters were in this area on Thursday and saw no evidence of this avalanche, so this occurred overnight 3/28-3/29. It is a good example of how glide avalanches can release at any time.]
