Comments
See attached photo of a glide release on Twin Peaks above the Broads Fork drainage in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Not sure when this released but it must have happened Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday because the last snow fell Tuesday night. It looks like it maybe caused a slab avalanche to release below where the glide avalanche released.

Comments
The photo below was taken just prior to the storm on the 14th and 15th and the glide avalanche is not present. (photo: T. Meisenheimer). Notice the skin track in the run out zone of the avalanche.
