Yesterday we got a late report of a sizable slide near the East Chute of Elk Point. We thought at first it was a wet slab but once we got a look at it we realized it was just a large WL. It is visible in the photo below in the rightmost chute and did leave a deep pile of debris. Maybe all the thought of wet slabs was self fulfilling. At about 2pm a WL from high in the East Chute triggered the first WS that we've seen from this warm up in the Provo mountains. (Close up of the crowns in the above photo) It was on an ESE aspect at 10200', 80' wide, 4' deep, 3200' vert and failed at the ground.
