Comments
Triggered a few wind slabs in the east bowl from the ridge off honeycomb. Released the first slab stepping on a wind drift high on the ridge that propagated out and into the the bowl. Moved down the ridge a bit and released a similar slide. I believe these are the previously reported slides in the east bowl from yesterday.
