Saw two buried old slides in the ufo bowls zone. Forgive me if these have been obs'd already but I didn't see them posted. Smaller one is small, D1, occurring in the north most bowl. But the larger one is large, and ran for almost half of the middle bowl. I'm not talking about the point release on the surface. The debris is buried but visible just above the highmark, and the crown is visible left of the point release debris below the trees.
Dug on N @ 8500' ECTX - just lots of weak snow with a slim slab
Observed forming surface hoar on all aspects.
