Two natural slides observed in Talking Mountain Cirque today. These were observed from a far distance. Hard to estimate the width of this one, because I could not make out the right flank of the slide from my vantage point. I'm interested to have a look this weekend to see just how wide this slide is. Slope angle at the crown is estimated 30-35 degrees. This slide most likely occurred on Thursday afternoon or evening. Photo is taken from Pre Laurel Peak.
