Observations

On a short tour up Herman Saddle, observed a wet loose slide just East of Blueberry Chute on the North-facing aspect. Triggered by partial cornice collapse, running down over the rocky cliff area and part way down to the Bagley Lake basin. Turned around at noon after a few short turns on South-facing slope. Did not trigger any slides or roller balls on skied slope.
