Multiple slides were observed in West Monitor ranging from 150 feet wide to 80 feet wide. The slide depicted in the picture below was of Scotts Peak/Hill. Dimensions were difficult to determine from a distance and the obtuse angle from which it was observed.

Melt Layer Recrystallization appears to be the weak layer and driving force for the widespread avalanche acitivity.
