From the top of Mount Wolverine observed two soft slabs that had released from near the ridge top on the skiers right side of the West Bowl of Silver Fork. Obviously I wasn't close, but they appeared to be in the vicinity of a foot deep. Also observed several fresh soft slabs on the east facing side of Wolverine Cirque, running on the aprons. Maybe 8 inches to a foot deep. None of the chutes had pulled out. Granny chute looked great to ski, in fact. That temptation was not hard to resist.
