I spotted this large wet loose slide at about 1300, and it looked fresh. It ran about 2,000ft down the southeast flank of Lichtenberg, and appeared to have gouged a bit into some older snow layers.Photo:

Observations
Cold morning, temperatures were slower to warm up than expected.
The large slide that gouged down to older layers on Lichtenberg appeared to be somewhat of an outlier, and most activity was rollerballs or D1's. These were on various aspects of all elevations, though direct north facing slopes appeared to be holding onto cold, dry snow.
