Looks like the S facing in LCC Canyon had a bit to much spring today. Driving up this morning did not note a whole lot of wet activity from the previous days, whole different story coming down at 4:30pm noted three new slides, Little Pine, White Pine, Toledo Chute. The far skiers right side of Toledo Chute pulled out around 3:00pm from rollers coming of the rocks, not sure of the timing of the other slides. Pics Toledo Chute before and after the natural, Little Pine and White Pine.

Think this one that came off the Hellgate hanging snowfield and gouged down under the cliffs happened yesterday.

Saw a large wet slide on NE facing Temp, not sure if part of the rock gave way and started it or if it just gouged down to the dirt, long ways away.

Watch a group ski Superior around 1:00pm, skied at the same time and late, got lucky this time. Pics, group on Superior skiing at the same time, new wet activity on Superior.
