Headed up Broads Fork to Bonker's. Not much of a refreeze happening below 8800ft. Got up toward the top of Bonkers and had a small glide avalanche pull out to the climbers left of the skin track. Pretty unsettling to be be standing on a slope with this happening. Interesting to note the mellow slope angle and it didn't run to the ground by any means. Not being very familiar with these types of avalanches, it appeared to me that part of the cause of this Au Natural was this sink-hole looking feature from where it broke. Most of the slide consisted of new snow running on old snow. Needless to say this was a decent sign to get out of there. Bad lighting made for bad photos. Tried to touch them up as best I could.
