Observations
we saw many wet loose slides but couldn't determine where they started from but mostly likely from the east facing ridgeline coming off of Jim Hill. The north facing basin had quite a few slides some running hundreds of meters. we elected not to drop in given the conditions. Skiing back down to Lanham Lake we set off continuous small slides on anything that was reasonably steep. There were also many slides that probably started from tree bombs.
