actually was two slides, one on lanes leap, and one just se uphill on same ridge 800' towards 10420 (10410') both very similar. It broke about 15' below the ridge. saw this one from top of 10420 and guardsman road (1/2 mile away) so no photo. I did not notice either slide yesterday. there appears to be a fair bit of wind loading on ne facing slopes top 100' ish cornices are growing.

Forecaster note: I know one of these slides was present on Sunday when I was there. I did not notice two of them but the visibility was bad that day. Tremper
