Trip to Chicken Shit Ridge (up and down) was warm and fun with a couple of whompfs on the down. Saw quite a few days old slides, including a massive one on NE Banana Days (pic 1&2) and Days Draw (pic 3&4). Both looked to have failed on a slick layer (Christmas storm?), not the grounds facets. Days Draw has crowns from the top continually down along edges for as far as one can see from the ridge. Banana Days has multiple crowns at different elevation and debris field is massive and goes fully into flats below (pic 2). There was a small but dangerous slide right at the beginning of the up track on the ridge, also facing NE (pic 5). On a side note, pic 6 shows the multiple slides in George's Bowl including what looks to me to be a bomb, highlighted in photo (WPG?, opinions kept to myself).
