The UAC forecast was spot on. As soon as we approached 9500’ on our way back down Emma’s ridge every turn produced impressive long running sloughs. Several sloughs ran out of sight and took out our skin track below. The sloughs were slow moving but powerful! We did not see any parties below, but still shouted down to alert any travelers who were out of sight. We also conducted a beacon search in the debris piles that crossed the skin track. Several of the slides channelized into gullies and left debris 6’+ deep.
