We noted a wide avalanche in the Red Creek drainage on a steep north facing slope. The crown was at least 1000 feet wide (a small portion shown in the picture below). This slide consisted of new snow only (8-12 inches).
We also noted a 50 foot wide slide near Chalk Creek that pulled everything out to the ground. This slide started at 10,400 feet and ran to the flats about 600 feet below. This slide was also on a 40 degree plus, north facing slope
