Some old news, but came across this likely sled triggered slide from a few days ago. This slope can be a frequent repeater as it gets heavily wind loaded from southwest winds that get channeled through this narrow pass. Riders will often turn out below the top usually lookers left where the slab is thinner and they will collapse the slope and trigger this small but steep east facing slope.
1. The higher terrain around Mill Creek saw it's fair share of recent winds.
2. This pit on a north facing slope still has weak loose sugary faceted snow near the ground, not a big concern where the snow pack is deep, but is a red flag in steep thin areas like Mill Creek.
1. A nice debris pile in the bottom of Cataract Basin. Possibly a cornice fall or wind slab triggered this natural avalanche sometime recently.
2. The views today were quite nice from the top of the Mill Creek drainage looking south into the Left Hand Fork of the East Fork of the Bear.
