Quick report
While we didn’t see any slides release during our tour, wet slides in the new, unconsolidated snow were visible on all aspects. Release points were mostly above 6000’, but ran well downslope in steep terrain. Several sizable slides ran over the summer trail to Hidden Lakes Peak, likely in the last 24 hours. No pinwheeling, but started to be able to sluff the wet new snow on steeper slopes when we descended at 10:20.
