Today while touring up Mill B South, I noticed an old slide, with rather large blocks, some the size of a dresser, off a NE slope just below the Sundial. Came back to find out nothing had been reported in the past week or so. The slide was older, probably at least 2 days old, and I have no other information about the slide, as by the time I was in the vicinity, at one or so, it was already snowing on top of it. I have a few pictures. I'm curious if anyone has any information about the slide, or if it was a natural. I thought this would be a helpful addition to the last week of persistent slabs we've been having. You can see in the pictures it started right below the Sundial, and continued almost to the base of the gully just a couple hundred feet above the height of the lake.
