The south face of Superior experienced a wet loose avalanche between 1:00 and 2:00 pm in the afternoon. Started out as point releases in the rocks near the peak and spread out into a fairly large slide with a good debris pile in the apron. Most likely cause was a very warm day yesterday and a night without a refreeze, followed by another warm day.
