Comments
Saw two small slides in the GE Hill area. One was at 9400 feet, 38 degrees, about 50 wide and 50 long. All of the fresh snow, 24 inches, came down. Unknown trigger, but happened in the 11 A.M. to noon timeframe. Second was about 150 meters away, and had very clear fox prints leading into it. Assuming it was triggered by the fox. NW facing, 9600 feet, 35 degrees. This one broke to the ground.
