Comments
Small, wet loose slide at about 7,400 ft in Providence Canyon in a west facing gully below the Welch's Flat Road. Point release, only ran about 100 vertical feet but 1'-2' debris pile and pinwheels could have caught and carried a person. This is the draw that starts below Little Baldy and ends up down near the shooting range on the Providence canyon road. Snowpack: 2' - 3' base (all saturated wet mush) in the gully. Less than 10" glop on nearby slopes. Photo shows the debris pile, looking out Providence Canyon towards Hyrum and Wellville. Unknown date of occurrence but maybe a day or two prior because today there was some cloud cover, not as warm, and only small rollers when skiing a similar slope lookers left.
