Comments

Slightly hard to see, but most of the east facing ridge off of Murdock heading down to Lambs Canyon had slid. Looked about 1 foot deep, but would be an ugly ride through the trees.

Comments

A closer view of the upper part of the ridge.

Comments

Pockets on the lower part of the ridge. They look to be connected, but it's hard to say for sure.

Comments

Wind Pillows on the Southeast aspect off Murdock.
