We took a long ride in Providence Canyon searching for the site of an avalanche incident involving riders from Wednesday. We rode all over upper Providence Canyon, attained views of the Rodeo Grounds, the steep east and north faces of Providence Peak and the north facing bowls and slide paths off Long Mountain or Millville Peak, and we did not see any evidence of avalanche activity other than a few loose wet sluffs down low and across from the Quarry.
Here's a photo of one that came down to the trail off the south facing north side of the canyon.
