Working at Soldier Hollow Biathlon. On the morning of the 15th noticed the three slides on the East, South East face of Mill Canyon Peak. Temptation, Tom's Canyon and Left side of Tommy Gun. The whole East face basin off the top of the Peak had released with the crown face, Approx. 6'-4' x 1/4 mile long? Plus raced around the north corner of the basin. It is identified as Temptation in the Wastach Back Country map.
The two other slides, most of Tom's Canyon & the left lower side of Tommy Gun slide. There was a minor earthquake early that morning, just saying. Can not say for sure that was the cause of all three releasing but it would be interesting to check out the debris pile in the bottom of the Temptation basin. I have attached images of the three slides, one of all three and a topo with approx. placement. It was eye opening.
