NE Red Baldy slide that varied from 1-6 feet deep. Some shrubbery in the debris pile. Probably released upon being windloaded by the storm a few days ago. Ran around 500 feet to the apron and stacked up fairly decently. Similar crown on lake peak where these deep slabs are releasing mid slope as the wind is loading the most snow and there's a good combination of a trigger points like the ones visible in the rocks that are located in the crown. Things in the alpine seem to be heading the right way but I think we will be dealing with a low probability high consequence problem in thinner start zones like this one.
