Observed a couple of slides in Mill B South. The first was in the upper cirque behind Monte Cristo (photo 1) and the second slide was down canyon just above the Sundial (photos 2 & 3). Looks like the slides probably occurred from last weekends storm as there was some new snow on the debris. The fracture on the slide in the upper part of the canyon looked to be about 2-4 feet deep. The fracture on the lower slide looked to be about 5' deep.
