Observations
In Newton today, several point release loose slides on Gnarl Ridge (SW facing). Tons of giant rollerballs on open Newton slopes and tree melt in lower trees. Several small slides in Pea Gravel on exit. I also spotted a large slide on Wyeast Face last sunday about 10000 feet, which appeared to run about 500 feet and was likely a point release. Fairly reactive snowpack.
