Multiple slides observable from the road and Ptarmigan. Most notable were the slides across the entire face of Fish Creek Knob from between the Gill/Main all the way across to the right shoulder; the lower lookers right shoulder of Stuart which looks to have had a shallow storm slab trigger into the deeper layers below; Showboat Y gully triggered through multiple terrain features; and an impressive slide on Hilda Face/Warhorse roughly 600-800' across with debris stopping feet short of the far side of the valley floor.

Still in a regime where the MLK crust is bearing an ever greater load. While the numerous obvious recent slides made for a show from the lift of note is the many areas did not release but are set to receive substantially more snow this weekend.
