Saw this fresh slide in Bonkers the afternoon, almost looked like another glide because it went down to the polished rock slabs and had large chunks in it, not sure though. Not sure on the timing maybe yesterday when the air rigor warmer or maybe wind loading from the SW winds earlier this morning. It ran right on top of last weekends slide, it didn't run full track. Been up there 3 times in the last couple weeks and each time there's been new avalanches, a few on the W facing and 2 on Bonkers and one one the Diving Board. Eric did a out profile on a N NW facing virgin slope and his observations should explain the structure.
