I slope cut a 45 degree Southeast facing slope at 9300 feet around 12:00 and cut a significant wet slide. The slide was 50 feet wide and ran for 400 vertical shaking tress as it strained through them. The slide consisted of the top 6 inches of saturated new snow. I tried to get video of the slide but I was in a safe location and trees blocked my view.
