Noticed this fresh natural loose slide up high on the north side of Providence Canyon. It probably occurred yesterday (1-6-2011)... Most likely a wet loose slide...

This fairly recent natural wind slab avalanche off the south ridge of Providence Peak may have been triggered by cornice fall.....

This shallow wind slab on a northeast facing slope from earlier in the week may have been triggered by a rider....

This recent wind slab release southwest of Logan Peak was probably also triggered by cornice fall sometime earlier in the week. Yep, that's Ben Lomond Peak in the background.....
