Comments
We drove up Providence canyon this morning to check accessibility and notice a new wet slide just before you get to the quarry. The slide started on the Northwest facing slope at around 7000 feet. The slide expanded to around 60 feet wide then funneled in the canyon and left a substantial debris pile in the bottom of the canyon. The slide looked like it entrained the new snow from earlier in the week
Comments
I also noticed several similar slides on Friday afternoon on East and Southeast facing slopes above the big curve in Sardine canyon and above Sherwood Hills resort. One slide ran from 8200 down to around 6800 feet
