I skied the Hells Kitchen bowl today and on my way up I saw this large east facing slide. It looks like the new snow naturaled within the last week or maybe just a few days ago. There were 4 large slides along the east face of the Hells Kitchen ridgeline. They ran to the flats at the bottom leaving large debree piles. The west face of Hells Kitchen had 4 or 5 wet point slides that didn't go very far. Most likely they slide late yesterday afternoon when the snow was the warmest.
