Observations
Observed slide debris around 10AM in the creek/avy chute that crosses the Welcome Pass Trail at about 2900 feet. We crossed it the previous morning so it must have slide sometime from 11AM on the 18th to 10AM on the 19th. The debris came from out of sight up the gully and ended just below the trail crossing. We did not hear any slides during the night we camped on Welcome Pass or that morning.
