Quick report

It was a warm day with full sun. Observed some older slides off of steeper areas on Big Jim and surrounding peaks. Snowpack was stable traveling uphill.

Avalanche

Glide avalanche off the top of the bowl that's just SW of peak of Big Jim. My friend and I both triggered glide avalanches after first couple turns into bowl. Avalanche ran very slowly down bowl, but was wide (~ 30ft) and slid pretty far down bowl (maybe 300 ft).
