Low visibility today, but the clouds lifted very briefly around noon to allow a view of a large (R2.5-3) slide about 200 yards north of the Ben Lomond summit. The 2.5-3' crown was just below the top of the ridge and broke out approximately 300-350 feet wide, ran about 1000' down to the bottom of the drainage (high in Cutler Creek). Probably released early am or last night.
Forecaster Comments: Thanks for the info, Bryan. Possibly natural cornice-fall triggered?
