Noticed an old slide while going up Kessler this morning. The crowns were just below the cliffs on the greaseball exit as well as slightly lower in elevation and to the North. This photo below is of the cliffs before the greaseball exit that has the slide terminating in the trees coming close to a skin track that was in place. We did not investigate the crown at all. [Forecaster Comment - This slide possibly was a natural that avalanched during a period of heavy precipitation on Monday morning.]
