Noticed this slide in upper White Pine of LCC while looking across from Pink Pine ridge. There were a number of other small sluff slides in both Red Pine and White Pine within the new snow. However, this was the only slab avalanche that we spotted. A quick ECT at 9400 ft, on a NE facing slope in Red Pine produced an ECTN23, about two feet down on the interface below last weeks storm. There was not an obvious density change at that interface, or noticeable faceting.
