Location Name or Route
South Facing slide paths in LCC, wet slide cycle
Comments
Thought a look at the wet slide cycle in the south facing slide paths in LCC would be more informative and interesting than an actual feild observation. Most all the large slide paths on the south facing side of LCC from Tanners up to Hellgate experienced wet slide activity yesterday through today, most ran 3\4 track or so with large debris piles at the bottom, some also gouged out deep channels in the snow pack, such as West Hellgate. Photos wet slides in Tanners, White Pine, Little Pine, Superior, West Hellgate, and the Hellgate cliffs.
