Area Description:
Two observations of slides today, both human triggered both very large for what I typically see up there. Both were east of the Resolution Creek road. One on a north aspect, the other on a west aspect. Both ran to he ground and had the potential to bury a person. Luckily no one was caught. Scary snowpack up there.
