Didn't see this reported yet and thought it should be. Basically it looked like at some point when everything came unglued on Kessler the North face Lawnmower, The Slabs, and Patterson's and around the corner to the East side into the Crow, Catchers Mitt and Chutes/Ladders area all slid big to the Cardiff road. It's splitting hairs when this happened but in my opinion was probably the first of the two avalanche cycles this holiday weekend. Images are of the Slabs area slide and the four or more inches of settlement nearby.
