These typically flush when it gets warm after a storm. They provided a good indicator to abandon my plan A today. 4 of the 5 had slid, the longest one at Blind Hollow parking was still intact at 4pm

I noticed a few other slides lower in the canyon as well from the warming land or raining on the snow today.
