Massive glide avalanche activity in Blue Ice-Diving Board area of east facing Broads Fork

She's a mess out there as everything has been coming un-glued! Skinnable snow is reached at about 7600' going up Broads Fork Trail.

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Being that we observed no wet loose activity today I would venture to say that Glide slide would be a catidate for the largest issue in problematic areas that have yet to slide.</p> <p>If any large pieces of snow are yet to drop, they will surly be getting close to it at this point.</p>

The snowpack all the way up to 11k had a thin freeze on top from overnight lows with mostly drained out large round grains beneath the surface and down at least 80cm and likely deeper

Many large glide avalanches have slid in prior days in east facing Broads Fork, some pushing 4 meters in depth to ground and 500' wide.

no loose snow activity observed, perhaps it has been there and done that already.
