A total of 4 wet loose slides were triggered by our group on the descent. 2 on Teepee glacier, 1 on the steep slope looker’s right of Garnet canyon heading up toward Teepee Glacier, and one about 400ft above Bradley lake. No signs of instability until around 10am. Within 10 minutes everything changed with the Grand Teton shedding snow all around us above Teepee Glacier. We bailed, and the snow got very very heavy
