Saw what I believe to be a new glide avalanche in Bonkers from the summit of Gobblers Knob today, thinking the timing was last night or this morning, read Todd's ob on Broads Fork yesterday and he did not mention this obvious slide in his report so I'm assuming it happened after he left. The Glide avalanche came of the rock shield about 3\4 of the way up Bonkers an on the skiers left side while ascending. Debris ran down to where the slope flattens out. Photos were tough from such a long distance but you can get the picture if you look at them closely.
